About This Item

Highwood Pass is the highest paved (Kananaskis Trail, Highway 40) pass in Canada at an elevation of 2.217m (7,273ft) above the sea level.  It lies within the Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Kananaskis, Alberta.  The Highwood River originates in the pass which is located only 140 km southwest from Calgary, just south of Lower Kananaskis Lake.

Set high in Alberta’s Rocky Mountain Front Ranges, this road is closed from December 1through June 15, due to very high snowfall and for the migration of wildlife. The summit is just about at the tree line, which means the surrounding area is one of the most accessible alpine areas in the Canadian Rockies. The summit of the pass is notoriously windy, and mountain weather changes quickly.  The area has some fine hiking and scrambling and there are numerous campgrouds in the valley to the north.
