There is no reason for taking the Coq, with its long hills and 4,400 foot elevation, when highway No.1 the TCH is lower and not so hilly. Time and time again we hear of troubles on that hwy, yes a short cut, but at what price? In winter, fall and spring we get ice and snow at times, in places there; in summer the heat gets to vehicles not ready for it, and it will be no fun for them, then! and what goes up must come down - and hope is only about 200 feet above sea level, so you've got 4,000 feet to come down if heading to the coast, and that run is almost all at once!

And regarding the Connector that links the Cog into the Okanagan, it is higher yet, than the coq itself.
