mountains are 9500 feet in elevation above sea level, So most of what everyone calls mountains are only hills or mounds.
-
Stay away from Disney World. There are some serious mountains there.
-
The newer automatics place it in the correct gear and have an automatic engine brake when doing down steep inclines.
-
No west Virginia and no I 70 in Colorado. West Virginia sucks. Altitude is less but grades are very steep.
-
They shouldn't be a problem but still can't go down even monteagle without at least 2 idiots roasting their brakes. And how many morons have gotten themselves killed on 70 in Colorado? 40? 80? Heck they find a way to run off the road on 77 and 64.
-
On the 2 lanes maybe but only 66 has bad hills on it. And they aren't really bad, just so #### many of them. 77 has one minor pull and 64 had a good one. But nothing even remotely dangerous as long as you got some common sense and don't come off the top at 60.77fib77 Thanks this.

You said common sense.
spyder7723 Thanks this. -
The older i get the more i realize it ain't so common.

Hell driver, I saw one run off the road and flipped over on I40 out on the Rez in Arizona today. They don’t need mountains to do that.Lav-25 and spyder7723 Thank this.
