Bandera Pass

Bandera Pass [elevation 1,745 feet (532 m)] is a mountain pass in Bandera County, Texas, in the United States.[1] It is located 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the town of Bandera.

The Battle of Bandera Pass, a part of the Texas-Indian wars, took place at the pass in 1843.[2] (Others say this battle was in 1841.)

Nearby Bandera Creek was named after Bandera Pass.[3]
