Worst mountain

Monteagle on I-24. Technically not a mountain, but a plateau. Cumberland Plateau. Used to be a lot worse in the day. really not bad at all now, but has reputation from the past.

I know some will argue, just telling you what "WIKIPEDIA" says about it being a plateau.

 

trucks arent allowed on that anymore

 

There aren't any Real mountains grades East of Denver.

 

Driven Mont Eagle, didn't impress me in the least. US 550 is a blast to drive, be it the truck, 4-wheeler or motorcycle. US 160 Wolf Creek is nothing special, La Veta EB can be amusing because you don't realize the drop is steeper than the signs tell you. US 6 Loveland Pass, done it a couple times at 80K, it was fun. US 40 Berthoud is nothing exciting. Now, US 50 Monarch and US 40 Rabbit Ears both going WB are a wake up call, yes you better be on your A game for both of them. US 285/24 Trout Creek Pass dropping into Buena Vista, seriously?, and yes I've run it in the winter on ice.

Couple of others that will wake you up CO 139 Douglass Pass, it a narrow, marginally paved road. US 285 Turkey Creek Canyon EB, there is a reason the speed limit is 35 mph. Lately though, it seems we can't go a day without a big truck wrecking on I-70 Eisenhower or Floyd. In fact one each today.

 

ya but they still go on it. from what ive heard neither oh or Nc has put up signs big enough to ward off dump drivers "NO TRUCKS ALLOWED" type of thing.

if anyone knows better please say so then i wont be wonderin for much longer.

 

i wish i knew what road it was off the PA turnpike it was 20 miles an hour for 40 miles because the interstate was shut down for bridge repair
midnite and no fun is what it was
just came across 70 thru co wasn't bad but was glad it was july and was very happy to get back to going 70 across kansas

 

Trans am where at? are you talking about rt 30?

 

i think it was 30. some kind of dump truck co at the top of the hill
i just knew it was midnite and i didnt like it
in 1969 i thought south mountain on 302 was bad going into allentown
but of course in dad's 42 hp mercedes diesel every thing was bad

 

I don't think PA302 went into Allentown, it was more or less what 611 is now. Maybe 309?
