Yuba Pass, Tahoe National Forest

Yuba Pass is a mountain pass on State Route 49 in Sierra County in the U.S. state of California. The pass lies at an elevation of 6,709 ft about 3.4 air miles west of Sattley, on the divide between the North Yuba River and the Middle Fork Feather River. Thus, unlike most of the well-known Sierra Nevada passes, including the much lower Beckwourth Pass on the east edge of the Sierra Valley, Yuba Pass does not lie on the Great Basin Divide. ()
