Baltimore to Cedar Point Sandusky Ohio

[Lantley]

Planning a trip to Cedar Point Park. Looks like 70 west to the PA Turnpike is the preferred route. I'm familiar with 70. What is the PA turnpike like? Is there anything I should be aware of?

Thanks for the response

Really only one bad climb. If you head up 70 to Breezewood and get on the turnpike, it is just pretty much rolling. The hill climb to the tunnel is a long winding climb, not sure what the percentage is, but it will keep you in the peddle all the way to it. You shouldn't be any heavier than my setup, so you should be able to climb it without any problems. Once through the tunnel, it is pretty easy. Coming back, one climb this side of Ohio is hard but not bad. If you've run the hills coming back from Hagerstown on 70, the climb to the tunnel is harder than that one hill because it is so long.

Would you consider the grades on the turnpike similar to I 70 in MD or closer to those found on I-68 in western MD

The pull up to the tunnel is pretty steep, a lot of truck traffic. Really not much of a problem all the way up to Sandusky. Typical cone displays in Ohio. Love that area and Put-In-Bay. Enjoy.
