The road climbs 1,488 feet in total, 60 feet per mile, between 753 and 1,188 feet — 435 feet of relief. The longest single climb is 251 feet over 1.1 miles, and the steepest grade on it is 9.6%. For this country that is relentless.
Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 84% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 16% state or US route. Posted speeds run to 55 mph, typically 55, measured across 23% of the route. State traffic counts cover only 2% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
