Raton Pass sits astride the Colorado-New Mexico border. This pass was difficult to cross until the Army made improvements during the Mexican War, but it was not widely used until "Uncle Dick" Wootton started improving it in 1864 as part of his toll road. Today the pass is near the route of the railroad and I-25.
