Utah Highway 20
Headed to Bryce Canyon next week and plan to take Highway 20 over to the 89. I understand the elevation gets to 7800 feet. What sort of grades can I expect?

Are you worried about the absolute altitude, the maximum grade, the total climb, or what?
From Google Maps Terrain mode, the climb to the highest pass is about 500' on each side. On one side it climbs 400' in 1.6 miles, on the other in 1.3 miles.
Streetview shows 2 lanes climbing, 1 lane down on both sides.
Big rig video of this climb
At 4:00 he reaches the summit, and sees and 8% grade sign. Downhill pace is about the same as hill. Lots of trucks going the other way.
