The highest paved road in Canada at 2206m above sea level! Among the most coveted rides in the entire country; be sure to ride it in the days before the road opens to cars in June, or autumn can be nice, but one of the last warm Saturdays of the season lead for a crowded ride. Enjoy views of the Rocky Mountains, Kananaskis Country around Peter Lougheed Park, and the foothills leading back to the city of Calgary. Support my new bike shop: http://VillageBicycles.ca.
