Mitchell Pass


Mitchell Pass is a gap through the Scotts Bluff ridge near Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and Gering, Nebraska. It is part of Scotts Bluff National Monument.

After 1851, Mitchell Pass replaced Robidoux Pass as the preferred route through the sand hills of western Nebraska on the Emigrant Trail, as it eliminated a detour to the south more distant from the North Platte River.

A branch of Nebraska Highway 92 now passes through the gap.
