Lolo Pass, elevation 5233 feet, is a mountain pass in the Bitterroot Range of the northern Rocky Mountains, on the border between Montana and Idaho about 40 miles west-southwest of Missoula, Montana. It is the highest point of the historic Lolo Trail, a National Historic Landmark used by the Nez Perce in the 18th century and by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in September 1805. The pass was also used during the 1877 Nez Perce War. U.S. Highway 12, completed in 1962, crosses the pass.
