    Whitebird is a long grade hill with short switchbacks that trucks run to fast on going down hill and when loaded it a very hard pull to the top.

    RIP Driver. I have taken that hill many times in both directions. Love the area, but this is proof it can be dangerous.

    Any road,any weather or traffic conditions can be dangerous or fatal ... The more you do the right things the better chances of staying safe are IMO
