How collecting works
Rarity is an editorial measure of how collectible a place is within Unfound Earth—not how difficult, dangerous, or accessible it is to visit. Rarer finds award more XP. Marking a place FOUND adds it to your collection and awards its base XP once.

Overview
Winnats Pass cuts through the limestone plateau at the head of the Hope Valley, west of Castleton. The gorge exposes the Carboniferous reef belt; the collectible is the pass itself, not one of the neighbouring show caves.

Getting there
A road runs through the gorge. The catalogue pin represents the pass, not a place to stop a vehicle or a recommended walking route. Check local signs and current highway and access information when planning an arrival from Castleton.
