Beginning in the scenic Owens Valley, this climb gradually ascends through the eastern Sierra Nevada, offering breathtaking mountain vistas. As you near the summit, the road narrows and steepens, with challenging sections reaching up to 14%, while the towering peaks of the Sierra loom above. The final push rewards you with a stunning view of South Lake, nestled at the base of majestic mountain ridges, making every hard-earned pedal stroke worthwhile.
