Tioga Pass - This little baby can...
Indeed, I almost ran out of low gear on my 4runner towing a 5K lbs TT... but this little baby can.
Tioga Pass is 9,900 ft pass, continuous uphill 6% grade, scary deep ravine and unprotected-without road barriers highway. Been around West Coast white knuckle and multi-hair pin turns and steep uphill climb.
Is there anything more challenging out there than the Tioga Pass or the Conway Summit at 395 in East Sierras?
I know, the struggle comes with the thin oxygen of these high altitude highways. And the inability to start with a momentum as the base of the highway is already on oxygen-deprived 7,000 feet above sea level.
