Swan Pass lies between Poboktan Creek and the Northwest Brazeau River. It is 5 km S of Mount Brazeau, 3 km S of Henry McLeod and 4 km SE of Coronet Peak.
The pass is the gateway from the Banff Jasper Highway to the glorious meadows east of Mount Brazeau. It is also a good base camp for climbing Mount Brazeau itself. The pass has been crossed with overnight packs, the east side may require use of hands when down climbing. See <a href=TripPg.asp?TripId=249>Le Grande Brazeau Traverse</a>.
The 1:50,000 map has 50 m contour intervals in this area, which makes it difficult to tell how steep it is.
