Sylvan Pass (Wyoming) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Sylvan Pass (el. 8,524 feet (2,598 m)) is a mountain pass located in the Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The pass provides access to the park from the east entrance. The pass was named after nearby (derived from medieval Latin sylvānus, from Latin Silvānus, god of the woods, from silva, forest), and was formed by frost action breaking the rocks. The park road through the pass was closed during winter but is now open to visitors throughout winter. The road is maintained to allow access via snowmobile, snow coach, and cross-country skiing. In the 2007–08 season it cost the parks service in excess of $200,000 to keep it open and avalanche control measures were put in place. The Sylvan Pass route is the only way to enter/exit Yellowstone National Park from the East Entrance. Sylvan Pass is the low point of the saddle between Hoyt Peak and Top Notch Peak. The original road through the pass was designed by Captain Hiram Chittenden of the Army Corps of Engineers. * Sylvan Pass Loop, East Side, 1921 * 1st automobile over pass, 1914 (en)
Le col Sylvan (Sylvan Pass) est un col de montagne situé à 2 598 m d'altitude dans le parc national de Yellowstone dans la chaîne Absaroka dans l’État du Wyoming aux États-Unis. Le col est la porte d’accès orientale du célèbre parc qu’il relie à la forêt nationale de Shoshone située plus à l’est. Le col fut nommé d’après le lac Sylvan (Sylvan Lake) situé à proximité. Celui-ci tient son nom du mot latin Silvānus qui signifie dieu des forêts. Ce lac fut construit par le travail d’érosion des glaciers sur les roches. La route est fermée durant la saison hivernale car les avalanches y sont nombreuses et dangereuses. La route originelle pour passer le col fut pensée par le capitaine Hiram Chittenden qui appartenait au corps de génie militaire. (fr)
