  • Must be on the highroad up by Silver Dollar City. If you're going to Branson proper, just stay on US65 to Main St./route 76. Where are you staying in Branson?
  • Never heard of a 19% grade in the area. Location? I've drug my toy hauler on about every road going into Branson and never had any concerns with grades.
  • Are you going to Table Rock? I believe there are some hills on 265/165, but been a few years since we were there. But you will not be on the steep 376. I will let someone else chime in on about 265 and 165.
  • my GPS has me going 65 south down to state hwy 265 for 3 miles then to 165 for a couple miles. from what you said the 19% grade will not effect my travel route?
  • I think that 19% grade mentioned in relation to Branson is a short stretch of hwy 376 on the west side of Branson connecting the strip area to highway 265.

  • I-44 to US65? I've done US 65 from Branson to US 50 and I don't remember any extreme grades. Where is this 19% grade?

    According to flattest route, that route has a 4% grade max.
