Ken,


Were you backpacking your Vanagon? <G>  Mountain height yes, however I don't
think there are any Sierra Nevada highway passes in the 12,000 foot range.
Tioga Pass at 9,945 feet is about the highest I can think of. For a road a
tad over 12,000 feet try Trail Ridge Road in Colorado's Rocky Mountain
National Park.
