Allison Pass Summit is the highest point of the Hope-Princeton Highway, the westernmost section of the Crowsnest Highway that continues to Medicine Hat, Alberta, crossing the Continental Divide at the border between British Columbia and Alberta. It was opened in 1949.
"Cyclists and motorists alike find this stretch of road difficult because of the steep grades and high altitudes. On the way from Hope to Allison Pass, one must ascend the 7% (1 in 14) grades up to the Hope Slide before one can start up to Allison Pass, leaving many trucks waiting at the side of the road for their engines to cool down."
