Mountain pass in Sierra County, California, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yuba Pass[1][2] 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 6,710 ft (2,050 m)[1] about 3.4 air miles west of Sattley, on the divide between the North Yuba River and the Middle Fork Feather River (Sierra Valley). 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.
