Athabasca Pass (el. ) is a high mountain pass in the Canadian Rockies. It is the headwaters of the Whirlpool River, a tributary of the Athabasca River. In fur-trade days it connected Jasper House on the Athabasca River with Boat Encampment on the Columbia River. The pass lies between Mount Brown and McGillivray Ridge. It is south of Yellowhead Pass and north of Howse Pass. Since the first documented crossing by David Thompson and Thomas, his Iroquois Native American guide, in 1811, the pass became a major point on the fur trade route between Rupert's Land and the Columbia District, used by the York Factory Express.〔 (Peakfinder: Athabasca Pass )〕 The pass was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1971. ==See also==
