Yellowhead Pass

Yellowhead Pass is a mountain pass in the Canadian Rockies, situated at an elevation of 1,492 metres. It connects the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, offering stunning vistas of rugged peaks and dense forests. Historically used by Indigenous peoples and then by fur traders, it later became a vital route for the Canadian National Railway. Driving through the pass reveals breathtaking scenery year-round, particularly in autumn when the aspens turn golden. In summer, hikers can explore trails that lead to alpine lakes and waterfalls. Be cautious of wildlife on the road, especially at dawn and dusk.
