Cycling Passes - Paved Roads
- tabulation order:
highest elevation first.
- contains two sided paved road summits
- Designations for unnamed/ unsourced summits are
followed with (u) in the name field.
- if only one of two principal approaches is paved,
the pass is listed in the MTB table, not in this
table.
- passes with a principal paved approach and
alternate unpaved approach are listed in both
tables.
- Elevations refer to the maximum altitude along the
approaches. If this maximum elevation differs from
the pass altitude, the pass altitude follows in ().
