Someone asked if 120 is difficult to tow the entire way, from east to west or vice-versa. The answer is no -- it is no problem. Sometimes a lot of traffic, but there are lots of turn-outs, and the grades are not bad, and it is not too twisty. The altitude can affect the engine, but the highest part (at almost 10,000 feet) is fairly level. The steeper stuff is below 9000 feet.
There are some difficult or impossible roads for towing in the Sierra -- such as Sonora Pass (108), Ebbetts Pass, and Carson Pass. Monitor Pass is tough but not terrible. By comparison, 120 is really no big deal.
