Raspberry Pass is a mountain pass in the Tahltan Highland of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is located southeast of Telegraph Creek between the heads of Raspberry Creek and Bourgeaux Creek in Mount Edziza Provincial Park.[1][2][3] Raspberry Pass forms a boundary between the Spectrum Range and the Mount Edziza area, cutting northwesterly through the middle of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex.[3][4]
Raspberry Pass is the namesake of the Raspberry Formation, a geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex.[4] The mountain pass provided a passageway for the Yukon Telegraph Trail which was established by the Dominion Government Telegraph Service from 1898 to 1901.[3][5]
