The Vail Pass Camp is a multi-component prehistoric site, situated at the summit of Vail Pass (elevation 3,224 meters (10,577 ft)) (Gooding 1981), just below the timberline in Colorado. The camp was occupied for over 7000 years, inhabited by various North American aboriginal groups, and is the first open lithic-scatter site. Thirty-three radiocarbon dates were obtained, ranging from 7320 B.P. to 190 B.P. (Gooding 1981:12) with most (all but six) dating to the last 3,000 years. The Vail Pass Camp was most likely discovered in 1887 by T.D.A Cockerell.

The Vail Pass Camp was most likely discovered in 1887 by T.D.A Cockerell. Vail Pass Camp was excavated to lessen the effects of highway construction on a prehistoric and historic camp location in the high mountains. The excavated portion of the site covers an area of 453 square meters (4,880 sq ft). Seventy-two archaeological features and nine hundred eighty-eight tools were discovered which have been comprehensively analyzed. Overall, this site has allowed for questions regarding high elevation, prehistoric sites to be answered. (en)
