Editing Crowsnest Pass (section)

==Geography==
The pass is located in southeast British Columbia and southwest Alberta, and is the southernmost rail and highway route through the [[Canadian Rockies]]. It is the lowest-elevation mountain pass in Canada south of the [[Yellowhead Pass]] ({{cvt|1130|m|disp=or}}); the other major passes, which are higher, being [[Kicking Horse Pass]] ({{cvt|1640|m|disp=or}}), [[Howse Pass]] ({{cvt|1530|m|disp=or}}) and [[Vermilion Pass]] ({{cvt|1680|m|disp=or}}).

Crowsnest Pass comprises a valley running east–west through [[Crowsnest Ridge]]. On the Alberta side, the [[Crowsnest River]] flows east from [[Crowsnest Lake (Alberta)|Crowsnest Lake]], eventually draining into the [[Oldman River]] and ultimately reaching [[Hudson Bay]] via the [[Nelson River]]. Summit Lake on the British Columbia side drains via three intermediary creeks into the [[Elk River (British Columbia)|Elk River]], which feeds into the [[Kootenay River]], and finally into the [[Columbia River]] to the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]].
