Highwood Pass Day Trip

From the Kananaskis Valley travelers can loop south to Longview over Highwood Pass, Canada’s highest mountain highway. This is an extraordinary example of geological processes with thrusts and faults that show the forces that created the Rockies.

This driving loop can take a full day with stops and activities such as hiking or scrambling or even having a picnic. But you could do it in three or four hours as just a scenic drive.

Start in Cochrane and head west to Highway 40. Travel south toward Highwood Pass which is the highest pass with a paved road on it in Canada. Once you are on top of the pass and you start driving downhill towards the southeast, and into Longview.
