What are the highest roads in Canada?

Located in the northern part of North America, Canada is the second-largest country in the world, defined by colossal scale and breathtaking mountain grandeur. The nation’s most dramatic topography lies in the west, where the colossal Canadian Rockies dominate Alberta’s border and the rugged Coast and Columbia ranges extend across the entirety of British Columbia. These towering regions are studded with ancient glaciers, crystalline lakes, and vast canyons.
