What's the steepest, longest, 80+km/h road near Calgary?

[Tik-Tok]

Also paved, and preferably within an hour of the city. I need to do some tests on my truck under load.

Cochrane.

Just set the parking brake a couple clicks. ;)

Also Burma Rd. Has a big dip down and up.

Stoney trail from bow River to beacon heights is a long pull.

I would of thought from Beddington Trail to Sarcee Tr along stoney would be better.

I don't have elevations, but both are pretty good.

scott lake hill on the way back into Calgary on the TC Highway. Or go up to beacon hill in either direction on Stoney trail. Those are probably the best ones in/near the city.

Willis Point Road up to Durance Lake near Victoria, BC.

*That's a lot more than one hour away from Calgary...

[ExtraSlow]

I think stoney trail is just as steep and long as Scott lake.

Not sure how it stacks up to the others... but the hill on hwy 22 near priddis is a gooder

[Tik-Tok]

All good suggestions, but none really what I need. Basically I need an uphill 1/4 mile with little enough traffic that I can do it from a stop.

I think I'll just go out to Highwood pass, coming from the south.

Enter stoney trail from Tuscany? You enter at lights.

Big Hill Springs. There’s an intersection close to the bottom of the hills you can start from.

Nice. Thats about perfect.

Alternatively the lights from John Laurie heading up Sarcee is good for testing too, I did my 0-100km/h trailer pull test there.

Oh! Hang on!
What about 549 West of Okotoks heading toward Priddis etc? I think that has precisely what you're looking for!

37th st south of 22x... 3 hills in a row, mailboxes and driveways so people are pretty use to cars starting from dead stops. My father who lives to teach everything the hard way taught me how to drive a manual out there back in the day :rofl:

[BavarianBeast]

Highway 564 east right before the 840. Got a 89 Westfalia going 170 down that puppy

[legendboy]

Big Hill Springs Road between 772 and 766 heading towards the Shell on highway 22. You can test down hill control and hill climbs :D

[Sentry]

Burma Rd like I said, very steep and little enough traffic you can stop in the middle of the valley and then haul ass up the hill.

EDIT: Right after 85st

What about lochend road (I think that's how it's spelled). Between crowchild and big hill springs . It's got a hell of an incline

[lilmira]

Yeah, Lochend, Bearspaw, Burma, 262 in the same area all have a decently steep section in similar length. There are some traffic like most country roads. 112st by 226ave in the SW is pretty good too.
