Highest Road In The USA
Mount Evans Byway, Colorado.
Highest Paved Through Road In The USA
Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
(We plan to cycle this road).
Highest Unpaved Through Road In The USA
The highest unpaved through road in the USA (and possibly in North America) is the Mosquito Pass between Leadville and Fairplay, Colorado. The summit of the pass is 13,186 feet.
Highest Road In Canada
The highest drivable pass in Canada is Highwood Pass (7239 ft. / 2205 m.). This road is Highway 40 in Kananaskis County, Alberta (southwest of Calgary).
There may well be paved or unpaved spur roads or four-wheel drive roads in the Canadian Rockies or in the Yukon which reach greater heights?
After cycling along the west coast in 2005 and 2013 and cycling coast to coast from in 2010, we will again be returning to North America for a new cycling trip from Key West to Halifax in the summer of 2016.
