Trans-Canada crossing of the Selkirk Mountains.
The Trans-Canada Highway crosses Rogers Pass at 1,330 metres through Glacier National Park, completed across the pass in 1962. The corridor is protected by snowsheds and the world's largest mobile avalanche-control program, using howitzers to trigger slides. Mind the winter avalanche closures, snowshed tunnels and steep transport-truck traffic.
