The Coquihalla: Canada's Highway Through Hell

It's one of the most incredible feats of civil engineering out there. But that doesn't stop it from being one of the most dangerous roads in North America. In this adventure, drive British Columbia's Coquihalla Highway from Kamloops south to Hope.

After summiting the Coq, you'll descend the infamous Smasher. It's aptly named for the idiots that think they can drive it in the ice and snow and turn the highway into a demolition derby. To successfully conquer the the Smasher, you'll need to take on over 20 kilometers of a nearly 9% grade. it's a wild ride in the summer, and sheer insanity in the winter.

Do you have what it takes to tame Canada's Highway Through Hell? Or are you doomed to be just another statistic in the Smasher's long run of infamy?
