  Rogers Pass
Rogers Pass, elevation 1323 m, in BC's Selkirk Mountains, was named for A.B., hired by the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY to find a route through this range.
Rogers found the pass from the west via the south fork of the Illecillewaet River 28 May 1881.
The following year, on July 24, Rogers again reached the pass, this time from the east to satisfy his employers that the Selkirks could be breached by the pass.

 Rogers Pass, British Columbia, Canada
Rogers Pass (elevation 4,534 feet/1382 m) is located at the summit in Glacier National Park, and operates the Park's main Interpretation Centre.
The actual Rogers Pass was first used by the Canadian Pacific Railways in 1885, after Major A.B. Rogers had found the long-sought and forbidding route through the Selkirk Mountains, and reached the summit of the pass that now bears his name, in 1881.
Road construction through the pass was completed in 1962, and travel over the pass today is safe and relatively free from the dangers of the "White Death" snow avalanches that claimed the lives of 250 railroad workers during the thirty year period that the CPR used the pass.

 IMBA News: Action Alerts: James Peak Wilderness Bill Threatens Bicycle Access (06-27-01)
Because bicycling is prohibited in designated Wilderness, the International Mountain Bicycling Association and Boulder Offroad Alliance have carefully analyzed the proposals and we have spoken with bicycling leaders in Boulder, Clear Creek and Grand counties.
Similarly, on the west side of the Divide, south of Jim Creek and Rogers Pass, there appear to be no conflicts and bicycling leaders in Winter Park can endorse Wilderness there.
If the Rogers Pass boundary is properly adjusted, the southwest side should be proposed for immediate Wilderness protection.
