Roubadeau Pass, also known as Robidoux Pass, Roubedeau Pass, Roubideau Pass, Roubidoux Passis and Roubadeau Pass Gap, is a gap passing through the Wildcat Hills near Scottsbluff, Nebraska on the Emigrant Trail. It is at an elevation of 4,554 feet, 1,388 meters[1] The pass is a National Historic Landmark.
The area was named for members of the Robideau family, notably Joseph E. Robideau, who maintained a trading post east of the gap in the late 1840s and later at Scottsbluff.[2] The pass lies a few miles west southwest of Scottsbluff, Nebraska in broken country south of the North Platte River, the Wildcat Hills. A local road, Robidoux Road, now passes through the gap. Robidoux Pass is located south of Scotts Bluff National Monument, 0.5 mile south and eight miles west of Gering, Nebraska off Nebraska Highway 71 on Robidoux Road.[3][4]
