Oppo Challenge: Highest Point Reachable By Car in State

So, upfront...this isn’t the highest point reachable by car. I’m 400 yards short of the highest road in BC. BUT, that’s REALLY far, around 900 miles or 1500km away round trip.

So, I chose to try and couple the not insignificant distance of 1.2km (nearly 4000ft) in elevation with the remoteness of the location for some BONUS POINTS.

I roped in my dad, and more importantly, his 2018 Rubicon and we set off. While we drove a much more reasonable 450km round trip (280 miles) a significant amount of time was spent offroad.
