Question: What Colorado road is the highest paved road in North America?

Answer: Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway is the continent’s highest paved road, reaching a maximum elevation of 14,266 feet. The 49-mile road begins in Idaho Springs and climbs to the summit of Mount Blue Sky, rising above the timberline and even some clouds to give motorists a view of glacier-cut valleys, distant peaks, and grazing mountain goats.
