Trans Canada Highway is the only road running across the Columbia Mountains. The highest point of the Highway is Rogers Pass and the Glacier National Park. When you start your journey either from Golden on the east or Revelstoke on the west, be ready for substantial climbing, curvy road even ice and snow after the summer season. There are numerous gates along the Highway to close any part of the road affected by winter avalanches. Driving in the summertime most of the time is no problem but you have to keep your attention on the high gear. Wildlife crossing the road is a frequent event and the speed is limited within the National Parks but to be here is a lifetime experience.
