Athabasca Pass, Mountain pass in Jasper National Park, Canada

Athabasca Pass is a mountain passage in the Canadian Rockies that crosses the Continental Divide between Mount Brown and McGillivray Ridge. The route spans about 18 kilometers from Kane Meadows to Wood River, running partly through Jasper National Park and partly into British Columbia.

David Thompson learned the route in 1811 from his Iroquois guide Thomas, seeking a way to the Columbia after Peigan blockades closed Howse Pass to the North West Company. After the North West Company merged with the Hudson's Bay Company, the pass carried the York Factory Express between York Factory and Fort Vancouver. The 1846 boundary and a faster Panama route ended that traffic; the company abandoned the express in 1855. It was designated a National Historic Site on 27 May 1971.

The Committee's Punch Bowl, a glacial lake at the summit, represents a significant landmark in the historical fur trade network connecting eastern and western Canada.

The pass sits on the Alberta–British Columbia border; the Alberta side lies within Jasper National Park, while the British Columbia side is provincial Crown land. The summit lake, Committee's Punch Bowl, feeds the Whirlpool River eastward and Pacific Creek southward. Approach is on foot only, so plan for remote mountain terrain and carry what you need.

A lake at this pass called Committee's Punch Bowl has a rare feature where water from the same body flows in two directions, partly eastward toward Hudson Bay and partly westward toward the Pacific Ocean. This natural phenomenon makes the location a notable geographic feature.
