Sunwapta Pass sits in the saddle between Mount Athabasca and Nigel Peak and is part of a rare hydrographic apex, where the snow and glacial melt water flows into three different oceans. The pass is also on the boundary between Banff & Jasper National Parks and is the second highest point (2,023m) on the Icefields Parkway, just behind Bow Pass (2,069m).
