Rabbit Ears Pass has a camera back on it, and it’s working, kind of.
We first reported here in September about how all of the cameras on Rabbit Ears Pass, and 136 throughout Colorado, are no longer active, as of July 24 of this year. Colorado Department of Transportation discontinued the cameras when they couldn’t find the right price from a new vendor. They said they would replace only 66 of them, with their own state-owned system, which would be in fall of 2027.
But now, one camera on Rabbit Ears Pass appears to have some life in it.
If you go to the CoTrip.org website, or COTrip Planner app, there is one camera there, with three angles. It is on US Hwy 40, Mile point 147.20, which is about 5.5 miles west of Rabbit Ears. There are three views that show looking east, west, and down onto the road. They work better in the daytime than in the night.
Chuck Marsh with CDOT says, “What you will notice however is that the imagery on the Rabbit Ears cameras is not a live video feed, they are still shots that periodically refresh so viewers might see the same image on it for a little while before it transitions to another still shot.”
No word yet on whether or when more cameras will be working again on Rabbit Ears Pass.
