Monashee Pass, 1,189 m (3,901 ft),[1] is a mountain pass in the Monashee Mountains of the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.
Located southeast of Cherryville, the pass is used by British Columbia Highway 6 connecting Vernon to Nakusp on Arrow Lake,[2] and beyond to the cities of the West Kootenay.
The word Monashee is from the Gaelic monadh, meaning mountain, and sith, pronounced shee, meaning peace.
[2] Note that Monashee Summit, 1,241 m (4,072 ft) is slightly further southeast on Hwy 6 (near the Lost Lake Rest Area), and is the actual high point on the highway between Vernon & Arrow Lake.
