Guide book or website about steep/twisted/rough roads?

Is there a guide to tell me where the road ahead will have a steep grade? Or will not be recommended for a long class a or fifth wheel? Or be too rough to drive?

  • Mountain Guide is excellent. However, be aware that it does not include all roads so you could get on a twisty or hilly road that they do not report on.

    That's the one I was remembering. I forgot the name and did not know what to put into the search to find it. Thanks.
  • pugslyyy - I have a Garmin 760 also and so far prefer to use the hard copy guide, it seems to give me more info. Also, I like looking at the book when planning a trip several weeks in advance. I think they both work well. When I'm coming up on a hill, the 760 will tell me what's about to happen in front of me when you shouldn't be looking at the book. And like with most electronics, I will never figure out everything the 760 is capable of.

  • If you want to get fancy, something like the Garmin 760LMT will tell you all that stuff.
