The Chilkat Pass is a mountain pass on the border of Alaska, US, and the province of British Columbia, Canada, at the divide between the Klehini and Kelsall Rivers just northwest of Haines, Alaska. It is located in British Columbia’s side of the border. It is used by the Haines Highway and was the route used by the Dalton Trail during the days of the Klondike Gold Rush.

The pass is named for the Chilkat subgroup of the Tlingit people, who reside in the Haines area and until the gold rush controlled use of the route. This pass is 3,510 ft. high.
