Stevens Pass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stevens Pass is an important pass through the Cascade Mountains located in the northeast corner of King County, Washington. The elevation at the top of the pass is 4061 feet (1238 m). It is used by United States Highway 2. The BNSF Railway's Cascade Tunnel lies 2,000 feet below the pass summit. Stevens Pass is named after its discoverer John Frank Stevens.

A recreation area by the pass contains a ski resort. Stevens Pass Ski Area is on Cowboy Mountain and Big Chief Mountain. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses US Highway 2 near Stevens Pass.

Stevens Pass is the key saddle for Mount Stuart which means that it is the lowest point on the highest path connecting Stuart with a higher peak (Glacier Peak to the north). This makes it one of only 57 such passes in the contiguous United States and is a manifestation of its importance in Pacific Northwest geography.
