A. The maps are correct — the summit is west of the toll plaza. However, if you are driving the corridor, the topography in the area can be a bit deceiving. Travelling east and once you get to the summit, the highway grade drops very slightly, then the grade increases again. Once you pass the toll plaza, the grade drops again and continues to do so noticeably. Because of this it can “feel” like the the toll plaza is at or near the summit. The the elevation at the summit is 1244 m. Elevation at the toll plaza is +/- 1132 m. about a 100 m drop over 6 km’s, which in BC is difficult to notice.
