- Fancy Pass
- Fancy Pass in the Holy Cross Mining District. The Mt. of the Holy Cross is marked with an x. Verso: "Fancy Pass, head of Cross Creek looking down toward Mt. of the Holy Cross" "Beyond the first hill, the Fancy Pass trail climbs up the hillside above Fancy Lake. On the top, the rocky cut is Fancy Pass, a nineteenth-century crossing that was named for Joseph Fancy, a prospector active in the Holy Cross country in the early 1880's. Originally, Fancy Pass was a knifelike ridge. Dynamite blased the cut in the ridge, thus making a crossing possible. Incredible as it may seem, the Treasure Vault mill was hauled to Holy Cross City across this remote pass." --Robert Brown, Holy Cross--the Mountain and the City, p. 146 There is conflicting information about the location of this photo, as noted by a user in February of 2017. Others have noted that this is actually Upper Cross Creek valley, viewing NNE.
