White Man Pass is a mountain pass in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. It lies between Mount Currie and White Man Mountain on the Alberta-British Columbia border, at an elevation of 2,199 meters above the sea level.
The first recorded venture through White Man Pass made by people of European descent was in 1801, when explorer Duncan McGillivray and David Thompson cross the Rockies through it. The pass was used by James Sinclair to lead settlers into Red River Colony in 1841.
