Marias Pass, Rail mountain pass in Montana, United States.
Marias Pass stretches through the Northern Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 1,588 meters, connecting eastern and western Montana with gentle grades.
The Great Northern Railway completed construction through the pass in 1890, establishing a vital transportation link between the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
Native American tribes utilized this natural corridor for generations before European settlers discovered its potential for railway development.
US Highway 2 and BNSF Railway operate year-round through the pass, providing essential transportation services for freight and passengers across Montana.
The Roosevelt Memorial Obelisk, constructed from Montana granite in 1931, stands 60 feet tall at the summit of Marias Pass.
