Fraser Pass is a mountain pass in British Columbia's Rockies. Although immediately adjacent to the Continental Divide, the pass does not cross it; rather, it bridges the drainage basins of the Fraser River and Columbia River, both Pacific-draining rivers.
The pass is located at the head of Baker Creek, near the headwaters of the Fraser,[1] and connects to the head of Hugh Allan Creek, which flows into Canoe Reach (the part of Kinbasket Lake corresponding to the dam-impounded waters of the Canoe River), and then drains as part of the Columbia.[2]
