Guess it depends on what you are driving. Just your toad? Seems like east ward over dead indian is a little steeper. Driven it 100s of times but never timed it. 8000 ft pass. It is slow going pulling a horse trailer over dead indian. They used to have several life size metal indians on horse back at the summit view point. Someone cut them down and stole them about 10 years ago. Sad. Great scenic drive. Awesome in winter when it is open. We still drive over dead inian to sunlight basin to get our Christmas tree.U.S. forest cut permit only about $12. A trip to WY is fun. Living here is an adventure of a lifetime.JMHO
