    The most dangerous mountain pass in the lower 48 is the one that has the Billy Bigrigger super trucker with 3-5 years experience that knows it all flying down it like he is the only one on the mountain.
    They have just enough experience to think they have seen and done it all !!

    Hey now lol, Washington is fine. (Snoqualmie is cake). Its getting into washington that will kill you lol.

    But we do have one grade going down into lewiston that will make you pucker up like nothing else.

    Worse pass though, at least from what I have driven and heard from others, is dead man/cabbage. Mainly because there are more fatalities there from snow/ice and speed.
