Yuba Pass[1][2] is amountain pass onState Route 49 inSierra County in theU.S. state ofCalifornia. The pass lies at an elevation of 6,710 ft (2,050 m)[1] about 3.4 air miles west ofSattley, on the divide between theNorth Yuba River and theMiddle Fork Feather River (Sierra Valley). Thus, unlike most of the well-knownSierra Nevada passes, including the much lowerBeckwourth Pass on the east edge of the Sierra Valley, Yuba Pass does not lie on theGreat Basin Divide.
This Yuba Pass should not be confused with Yuba Gap, a minor mountain pass alongInterstate 80 on theNevada-Placer county line.
