    Here are a couple picks of one of the worst places I have ever been with a semi... Was pulling a 48' bullrack... You couldnt do it with a 53'... Even the 48 foot almost didnt make it.

    Second one is a zoomed in view of the pin from the first.

    Not that it much matters, but did you come up from the south or down from the north?

    Its not fun with any vehicle... It's very steep, maybe 9 or 10%. And it's not paved, and not gravel... Its just cut into the mountain side and has a little coarsely crushed native stone for traction and erosion control.

    Those switch backs are no joke either. With a semi your steer tire is almost sliding off the down hill side, and the trailer still jumps the inside of the corner. Have to be super careful of tipping the trailer on 2 of them. Even with a pickup and trailer, another vehicle cant get around you while you are making the corners for the switch backs.
