Carson Pass East Ascent

Markleeville, California, USA

Mountain

The last climb of the Deathride, aka the Tour of the California Alps, isn't the hardest but may very well be the hairiest. With over 14 miles of climbing it is also a Category HC. Combine that with the fast-moving traffic and limited shoulder in some areas and this climb is not for the faint of heart. Still, it is a beautiful ride through Woodfords Canyon, Hope Valley and past Red Lake and you can revel in the fact that you'll soon top out at Carson Pass, at 8580' of elevation.
