San Jose to Buellton - Cuesta Grade?

Want to go to Buellton from San Jose. I have heard that the Cuesta Grade can be pretty scary. I have a 35ft 5th wheel. Is it better to take 46 to 1 to 101 or should I tackle the Cuesta Grade
  • Other than a right hand curve at the bottom, pretty straight and not any worse than the Grapevine. You would still have hills and such crossing over on the 46.
  • We have driven Cuesta Grade many, many times without difficulty. Just keep it at or below the truck speed limit of 35 mph and you will have no problem.
