If you're going out the west side, be sure your rig can handle the long up hill climbs before you get started.

Yes, we plan to exit west on highway 190. Is the hill any different from a long mountain drive? Or will there be high temperatures going up the hill that will cause problems?
West thru Paramount Springs is very hilly and winding. There's a 30ft semi trailer length limit/warning in fact. We drove thru them during a 124 degree day (peak) at only 25-35mph. I wont claim its fun, but I knew what we were driving into, and some of the best views of the park are found in those hills.
