Red Rock Pass is a low mountain pass in the western United States in southeastern Idaho, located in southern Bannock County, south of Downey. It is geologically significant as the spillway of ancient Lake Bonneville. It is traversed by U.S. Route 91 at an elevation of 4,785 feet (1,458 m) above sea level, bounded by two mountain ranges; the to the east and the to the west. The pass takes its name from the red limestone cliffs which border it. Red Rock Pass has a surface deposit of calcareous silty alluvium with topsoil of dark grayish brown silt loam.

| - Red Rock Pass (Nederlands: Roderotspas) is een lage, 3 km brede bergpas in het oosten van de Amerikaanse staat Idaho op een hoogte van 1458 m. Op deze plaats, ongeveer 14 500 jaar geleden, begaf de oever van Lake Bonneville. De oever was gevormd door een aantal elkaar overlappende puinwaaiers. Geologen stellen dat tijdens de eerste weken 4 200 km³ water wegvloeide via de Snake. Het waterniveau van het meer zakte daardoor met 105 m. De uitstroom hield vermoedelijk een jaar aan. Ooit lag de pas 100 m hoger, op de hoogte van Lake Bonneville tijdens het Pleistoceen. (nl)

| - Red Rock Pass is a low mountain pass in the western United States in southeastern Idaho, located in southern Bannock County, south of Downey. It is geologically significant as the spillway of ancient Lake Bonneville. It is traversed by U.S. Route 91 at an elevation of 4,785 feet (1,458 m) above sea level, bounded by two mountain ranges; the to the east and the to the west. The pass was cut through resistant Paleozoic shale, limestone, and dolomite, and forms a narrow gap two miles (3 km) in length.At one time the pass was 300 feet (90 m) higher, where the shoreline of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville stood. The pass takes its name from the red limestone cliffs which border it. Red Rock Pass has a surface deposit of calcareous silty alluvium with topsoil of dark grayish brown silt loam. (en)
