Located in beautiful Kananaskis country in the Canadian Rockies, the Highwood Pass is the highest navigable pass in Canada. 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. Pull into the nearby Highwood Pass day use area and walk the interpretive trails through the Highwood Meadows.
