This remote mountain pass in Cassiar Land District provides access between the broad upland valleys of Raspberry Creek and Artifact Creek.[1][2] Its name means "going to camp" in the Tahltan language, referring to the fact that the pass was once used by the Tahltan to gain access to hunting grounds in the Raspberry and Artifact creek valleys.[2]
