Carnero Pass (elevation 10,166 feet (3,099 m)) is a mountain pass in Saguache County of south-central Colorado. It is located in the La Garita Mountains, a sub-range of the San Juan Mountains, and divides the waters of Houselog Creek to the north and Carnero Creek to the south. Carnero Pass is traversed by County Road 41G.[1][2]

The Utes and trappers had established a trail over the pass by the mid 19th Century and by the 1870s, wagons were traversing the pass.[2]
