Crowsnest Hwy.
Towing a 39 ft. 5th wheel trailer from Lethbridge Alberta to Osoyoos BC Is it a hard pull ? Diesel hard to find ? Tow Vehicle 2011 F350 DRW. Thanks

Nice detail.
The namesake pass, Crowsnest, is barely noticeable, though the surrounding mountains are scenic. And the drive through Ferrie, Cranbrook to Creston relatively flat. Then it's a rollercoaster drive all the way to Hope.
You can bypass Kootenay Pass with a scenic drive along the lake and ferry across, and on to Nelson and Castlegar. But the last leg before the ferry has 60km/hr speed limit - not hills, just lake side curves. Last time I took the ferry, the load included half of a prefab house.
You can also go through Trail, but the grade from Trail to Rossland is brutal.
