- A little late, but no Encampment. Just looking for a different route home from Bishop.

Thanks Art. Good info. Not going til Nov.
Nov. is usually a good time to visit DV. Heading to the 49ers Encampment Nov. 4-10 by any chance? The only other reasonable route is 95->373->190. That route is mostly flat or gentle downhill, but twice as long.

Easier drive (95>373>190) and being shorter with less grades.mittshel wrote:

Art- Easy, interesting drive.

- Not too bad of a two lane road. I'd certainly take our 39' Bus towing our Grand Cherokee along that road. Mostly straight from Beatty to Daylight Pass with a 1300' ft climb over about 13 miles. Then a 4800' decent over about 27 miles, with the majority in the first 15-20 miles down from the pass. Just use your gears going down to avoid riding the brakes. It'll be hot if going soon!
