Willamette Pass (5,128 ft or 1,563 m) is a mountain pass crossing the crest of the Cascade Range in Oregon. It is also known as Pengra Pass and Willamette Summit. The pass is traversed by Oregon Route 58. It is also traversed by Union Pacific's (ex-Southern Pacific) Cascade Subdivision, which provides rail access between Portland, Oregon and California. Amtrak's Coast Starlight uses this route on its way from Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and Los Angeles, CA. The Willamette Pass Resort ski area is located at the pass.
