Looking into the future | Crossing the Columbias | Parks Canada

Episode 3 of 4
In British Columbia, the Trans-Canada Highway takes travellers through the Columbia Mountains. As the highway climbs through Rogers Pass National Historic Site and Glacier National Park, it passes beneath 135 avalanche paths. Discover what it takes for Parks Canada to keep Canadians and commercial goods moving through Rogers Pass in winter!
Trans-Canada Highway closures have a big impact on travellers and the Canadian economy. Knowing when to conduct avalanche control is key. Find out what goes into avalanche forecasting and how investments are helping to reduce closure times.

Thanks for watching!

I was hoping you would speak to the future of the highway through the pass. It needs to be 4-laned, or at a minimum have truck climbing lanes. So much driver frustration is caused by those slow trucks

The cost and the environmental impact on a National Park would make that close to zero possibility. Blasting and mowing down nature for you isn't really a priority. Entitled people have to learn to slow down, relax and enjoy the scenery. You will only be a few minutes later than you hoped. Plenty of places outside the parks to get around a truck and carry on with the 130 km/hr race to where you need to go. I drive this road many times a year for the last 35. It's makes a minor difference to wait out behind a truck and pass when you get the chance.
