Hart Ranges

in the northern part of the range, connecting the north-central Interior of the province to its Peace River District to the northeast.

The boundaries of the Hart Ranges are the Rocky Mountain Trench and the McGregor Plateau on the west/southwest, the Peace Reach of Williston Lake on the north, and a certain line of demarcation with the Rocky Mountain Foothills to the east/northeast. The southern boundary is reckoned to be at McGregor Pass, just south of Mount Sir Alexander. Beyond McGregor Pass are the Continental Ranges, which comprise the main and best-known part of the Rocky Mountains and run all the way south to Marias Pass in Montana.
