Broad Pass is an approximately 15-mile long[note 1] gap in the Alaska Range.
It separates the Alaska Range to the west and an unnamed subrange to the east.
The first recorded non-native expedition was done in 1898 by geologists George Homans Eldridge[2][note 2] and Robert Muldrow of the USGS.
They also recorded the area's geology and topography, which led to railway plans in 1902.
[4] In 1971, the George Parks Highway was completed, and provided road access to the area.
