The Yellowhead Pass is a mountain pass across the Continental Divide of the Americas in the Canadian Rockies. It is located on the provincial boundary between the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and lies within Jasper National Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park.Due to its modest elevation of 1131 m (3711 ft) and its gradual approaches the pass was recommended by Sir Sandford Fleming as a route across the Rocky Mountains for the planned Canadian Pacific Railway.
