Jumbo Pass, elevation 2270 m, is situated in the central Purcell Mountains of BC, between the headwaters of Jumbo Creek, flowing east into Toby Creek, which empties into Windermere Lake, and Glacier Creek which flows west to Duncan Lake. Lumber roads pass within 2 km of the pass in both drainages. There is no significant history attached to the pass, but it may have been used by Indians in days past, as there was at one time a rough trail over the pass. With the recent increase in popularity of mountaineering, hiking and skiing, improved trails now lead up to the pass from both sides, where a 4-man hut is located at the pass's north end.
