Significance for inclusion[edit]

While it would be possible to go nuts and list every named saddle between two peaks, this list should confine itself to passes that have some sort of significance, whether as a trade route, tourist access, military strongpoint, etc. Passes with insufficient info for an article longer than one sentence should not make the cut for this list.

A big list[edit]

A friend found this list: Named Paved Road Passes/Summits - highest elevation first. It would be worth going over it. Without that link, I wasn't able to determine the highest paved road in North America.

What about South London's Cols[edit]

I think there should be a list of the locations of the cols of South London as they are important to the topology of the South London area, especially the more urban or suburban areas. I do not think a list with the word "mountain" would be important for this. There are no mountains in England. When I looked up "Col" I found "Moutain pass". 87.194.35.230 08:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sifton Pass[edit]

Not sure where to put it; it separates the Northern Rockies (Kwadacha/Kechika area) from the Stikine Ranges; it's a divide in the Rocky Mountain Trench, like Canal Flats, and isn't in either. Summit Lake Pass north of Prince George needs an article, but is on the Nechako Plateau, not on a mountain range (and there's another near Nakusp of the same name); Rose Lake Pass likewise (the divide between the Bulkley and Endako, and like Summit Lake an important prominence col. I also wanted to add the Begbie Summit on Hwy 97, which crests the Cariboo Plateau, and its cousins on the Merritt-Kamloops and Merritt-Peachland parts of the Coquihalla freeways are on the Thopmson Plateau; I guess I'll make an Interior Plateau section? Interestingly, though there are mountain ranges within those plateaus, none that I can think of have pass-names in them, other than some around Barkerville I think, in the Quesnel Highland. Not sure what hte pass-name between Charryville and Fauquier on Hwy 6 is....the pass by Big White has a name, I think; Anarchist Mountain is a region article, not written as a summit, though it functions as a pass (though not a geograhpic one, only a highway summit). These are just notes, and seeking feedback on Interior Plateau items.Skookum1 (talk) 07:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Caucasus[edit]

What about the Caucasus? Why isn't the region even mentioned? This is ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.21.224.88 (talk) 04:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
