Climbing 4,600 feet in about 18 miles from Parowan to Cedar Breaks National Monument in Iron County, U-143 is the steepest paved state road in Utah with a maximum grade of 13 percent."I don't know any other state road that's steeper," said Scott Munson, district engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation's Cedar City office.
Only marked for 8% in stretches coming up from the South (via Cedar City). And this time of year the trip is extra worthwhile as the wildflowers are amazing.
My gasser and TT did fine with this last weekend, but I did sacrifice 2MPG to the cause. About 10,400' at the campground, so it was a good high altitude test for my systems.
