Portal Lake is located at Yellowhead Pass along Highway 16 in the Canadian Rockies. At 1,131 meters, Yellowhead Pass is one of the lowest passes in the northern Rockies, marking the border between Alberta and British Columbia. It runs through Jasper National Park and Mount Robson Park. Declared a National Historic Site in 1971, the pass has historically served as a key transport route for First Nations, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and early railways.
