Colorado Rockies, USA. It's said to be the highest all-season pass in the world. There are, of course, much higher passes in the Himalayas and Andes, but presumably they're not kept open in the winter. The highway it's on, on the right, is US 6; on the left, beyond the sign, a little bit of Interstate 70 is visible.
