Fancy Gap

I know someone on here has been up and down it, just how steep and how long are the up and down grades? This is I77 NC.

  • Done it is abig truck, but not a RV,

    as mentioned below not that bad. 3.5% grade down. with a 5% for the last 4 miles down

    start down slow, and stay slow in a low gear. No problem
  • “I’ve heard Fancy Gap is a good hill,” says Dubonnette, referring to a 7-mile, 7 percent grade on I-77 in Virginia just past the North Carolina state line. Uphill, Fancy Gap is a strain. Downhill it’s long, steep and curvy, and the North Carolina scales are at the bottom.
