CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Carson Pass West

Ride 4.8 miles gaining 810’’ at 3% average grade.

This climb begins near the entrance to Kirkwood Ski Resort and is  fairly mild throughout - the steepest ½ mile is 6.3%.  This climb is is on busy Highway 88 so be prepared for that. Otherwise, this is the primary route to and from South Lake Tahoe (via Luther Pass) and Kirkwood.

That’s a wrap!!
