Summary:
This book gives the locations and descriptions of over 400 mountain
passes and steep grades in eleven western states. This information is
vital to drivers of large vehicles such as trucks and recreational
vehicles. If you have ever lost your brakes while descending a
mountain, you will understand how important it is to know ahead of
time what the mountain grades are like. With this information, you
can either plan a different route, or at least be prepared for the
grades that you must climb and descend. This book tells how long the
grades are, how steep (%) they are, whether the roads are two, three,
or four lane, if they have switchbacks, sharp curves, narrow
shoulders, sharp dropoffs, escape ramps, etc. This is the fourth
edition of the western book and it includes 150 new pass and grade
locations (for a total of 400 in the western states.) In addition,
all of the black and white maps have been replaced with color relief
maps. There is a companion book, "Mountain Directory East for
Truckers, RV, and Motorhome Drivers" which gives similar information
but covers the mountainous areas in eleven eastern states. The
eastern book includes locations and descriptions of over 300 mountain
passes and steep grades. It too is a new edition with color relief
maps. Together, the two books give locations and descriptions of over
700 mountain passes and steep grades in 22 states. Almost 30,000
copies have been sold.
