Lolo Pass, elevation 5,233 feet (1,595 m), is a mountain pass in the northern Rocky Mountains on the border between the U.S. states of Montana and Idaho approximately 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of Missoula, Montana.
It is famous as the location where the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the summit of the Bitteroot Range via the Lolo Trail on their outward and return journeys in 1805–06.
US-12, belatedly completed in the early 1960s, crosses the pass. Lolo Hot Springs, Montana, is 7 miles (11 km) east of the pass. The first limited services in Idaho are in Powell, 13 miles (21 km) to the west, then another 65 miles (105 km) to the next in Lowell, at the confluence of the Lochsa and Selway Rivers.
