Paradise Basin
Paradise Basin is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.470m (8,103ft) above the sea level, located in eastern British Columbia, Canada, near the border of Alberta. It's one of the highest roads of the country.
The road to the summit is gravel and rocky. It’s called Paradise Trail. It’s narrow and steep. Only 4x4 vehicles with high clearance. Altitude and extreme weather are always a factor at any time of year. It suffers the harsh meteorological conditions of the area every winter. Due to the high elevations and exposure, the road is subject to strong winds and rapid weather changes. It’s totally impassable in winters.
