If you live in the Northwest US, you owe it to yourself to take this road at least once! Rattlesnake Grade for the win over the Tail of the Dragon!

We’ve done this a couple of times, but not for a few years. Did it yesterday in our 2024 GT Premium PP1 and had a blast! Did not count the number of curves, but has to be 60 to 70 or so, climbing into the Blue Mountains (3,800 feet altitude or so). Set your nav for Asotin, WA, and when you get there, set it for Anatone, WA……and ENJOY!….you will be too busy steering, but your passenger will love the scenery!

Well, that is at least a lot closer to me than the "tail"... thanks!

You can do it N/B from Elkin, OR as well. And you’ll see snow capped peaks in late June as you climb to over 4,800 feet! LOVE this drive, but it is taxing as you really have to concentrate on the switchback's…..marked @25 mph, taken at 45+, you know? Very little shoulder to this road, and no guard rails to speak of.

I haven't driven that specific highway, but I did drive over Eisenhower pass a few times before I70 was built (Yes, I'm that old!). Or better yet, the old McClure pass between Aspen, and Glenwood Springs, back in the 50s. The bridges were nothing more than stripped trees driven into the mountain side, with the rest being rock and dirt. The average drop off those bridges would cause most folks under 45 to wear Depends®!

Yes! A great, fun road! Did it on the motorcycle twice, then again three years ago in my 2022 Mustang. I think my 25 GT would enjoy also.
