Monitor Junction, where the highways that climb to Monitor Pass and Ebbetts Pass intersect, is the start of this ride, up Highway 4 to the north side of Ebbetts Pass. It's climb number three (of five) of the Deathride, aka the Tour of the California Alps, and is the prettiest of them all even though it too is a Cat. HC. Enjoy the views of the East Fork of the Carson River, Silver Creek and near the top of the climb, Kinney Reservoir, as you ascend.
