The Kettle River Range, often called the Kettle Range, is a mountain range in far southeastern British Columbia, Canada and Ferry County, Washington, in the United States. Most of the northern half of range is protected by the Colville National Forest〔(USDA Forest Service, ''Colville National Forest'' )〕 and the southern half of the range is located on the Colville Indian Reservation.〔(Nez Perce Tribe and Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, map )〕 ==Geography== The Kettle River Range encompasses an area of and is a subrange of the Monashee Mountains, which in turn form part of the Columbia Mountains.〔(Kettle River Range ) in the Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia〕 The range runs north to south, bordered on the east by the Kettle River and the Columbia River, and on the west by the Kettle River, the Curlew Valley and the San Poil River. The mountainous region begins immediately north of the U.S.–Canadian border, at Grand Forks, British Columbia, extending 110 miles (177 km) south to the bend of the Columbia River and Lake Roosevelt, formed by Grand Coulee Dam, where it terminates. The Okanogan Highlands are adjacent to the range on the west, and the Selkirk Mountains are adjacent on the east. The Sherman Pass Scenic Byway runs east from the town of Republic, Washington across the center of the Kettle River Range and reaches its highest point at Sherman Pass, , the highest mountain pass open all year in Washington state.〔(America's Byways, ''Sherman Pass Scenic Byway'' )〕 The route is named for American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, who crossed the range in 1883.
