To all of you that responded to my question on 'least steep California Sierra passes' - THANKS!
- Markus, David K, Don, Donna, David O, Joe, Mike M, Pete, B&S, Scott, Gary
(& any others that I may have missed)
Overall, I-80 seemed to be favoured for reasonable gradients.
- I'm biased against this road since it is a major 4-6 lane freeway with lots of big trucks and fast traffic; plus I've been stuck for too many hours on it in winter ski traffic.... Also since that is a long detour for this trip, I've suggested to my brother (for he is actually the one to be taking this trip - out from England to borrow my Westy for a 3 week trip around California) to take the Carson Pass (Highway 88) which no-one seemed to think would be too steep. The recommendations to stop off at Bodie Ghost Town and Grover Hot Springs are great ideas & have been added to the trip.
Thanks again (hoping that my van will perform flawlessly....)
Mike,
'87 Westy
