finding mountain passes for flight planning?

To rephrase my question. I was look at the Colorado Pilots Association's
web
site and they have a listing of Colorado passes
http://www.coloradopilots.org/conten...p?menuID=16~16 and
they
have a listing of Colorado gaps
http://www.coloradopilots.org/conten...p?menuID=16~16 . It
made me
wonder what's the difference between a gap and a pass.

E. Explanation of different lists:
a.. The list of gaps came from source 1 which combined passes and non-pass
gaps, listing all as gaps. Those appearing in the List of Gaps are not
passes (saddles on a ridge), but are narrow passages, often of a stream or
road, and were determined by inspection of the 7.5 minute USGS map.

b.. The List of Passes in Colorado without Official names contains passes
I have discovered on maps or in person but could find no label, so have
chosen a name from a nearby topographic feature.

c.. The List of Passes in Colorado without complete information contains
passes which are named, but which I have not yet been able to locate
precisely
d..
