Stevens Pass, Mountain pass and winter resort in Cascade Range, United States

Stevens Pass is a mountain pass through the Cascade Mountains on the border of King and Chelan counties in Washington, at 4,061 feet (1,238 m). U.S. Route 2 crosses it, and the Pacific Crest Trail meets the highway at the summit. The BNSF Railway's Cascade Tunnel runs 1,180 feet (400 m) below the pass.

John Frank Stevens conducted railway surveys in 1890 to find the best route across the Cascade Mountains. His work established this location as a strategic point for railroad development in the region.

John Frank Stevens reported in 1890 that no trails, blazes, campsites or old campfires existed for at least ten miles in either direction, and that Native Americans and whites crossing the mountains used Snoqualmie Pass to the south or Indian Pass to the north. The pass takes its name from Stevens, the first non-indigenous person to survey it.

The Washington State Department of Transportation maintains a website with real-time road condition updates and weather alerts. Check it before traveling to know what conditions to expect on the route.

The Cascade Tunnel of the BNSF Railway runs 1,180 feet (400 m) below the pass summit. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses U.S. Route 2 right at the pass, and an Amtrak Thruway bus stops at the summit near the ski area.
