Climbing Granite Pass eastwards from near Shell is an epic, high-altitude journey through the Bighorn Mountains, defined by its length and dramatic scenery. Prepare for a very long 18-22 mile ascent, gaining nearly 5000ft to the 9033ft summit. You'll have to deal with moderate gradients averaging around 5%, but prepare for sustained steeper ramps of 7-9% through the breathtaking Shell Canyon. Services are extremely limited between Shell and the summit area. Also, be sure to check WYDOT for current road status before attempting this climb, as US-14 over Granite Pass is almost certainly seasonally closed, typically reopening late May or June.
