Targhee Pass (el. 7072 ft./2156 m.), is a mountain pass located on the continental divide in the Henrys Lake Mountains along the border between southeastern Idaho and southwestern Montana.
U.S. Highway 20 crosses the pass, approximately 15 mi (24 km) west of West Yellowstone, Montana, on the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park. The pass provides the most direct access to Yellowstone Park from southern Idaho.
The pass is located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Henrys Lake, the headwaters of the Henrys Fork River, a tributary of the Snake River is located just west of the pass. Hebgen Lake, a reservoir at the headwaters of the Madison River, a tributary of the Missouri River, is located just north of the pass.
