Sifton Pass, 1012 m (3320 ft),[1] is a mountain pass in the Rocky Mountain Trench in the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, forming the divide between the Fox and Kechika Rivers,[2] and therefore between the drainage basins of the Finlay (the north fork of the Peace) and Liard Rivers. It also forms a division point between the Muskwa Ranges of the Northern Rockies to its east, and the Cassiar Mountains to its west.
