Mount Rose Summit is a mountain pass located in the Carson Range near Mount Rose and Slide Mountain northeast of Incline Village.[1][2] The 8,911 ft (2,716 m)-high pass is traversed by State Route 431, which is the highest point of the highway and the highest mountain pass open year-round in the Sierra Nevada.[1][3] The saddle itself features a parking lot and a small building which both serve as a highway stop. A dirt road leading to the Mount Rose Ski Resort ends near the northern section of the summit.[1]
