I would agree with Chester. Having done the Sacramento to Reno countless times, 580(Altamont pass) 5 over the grapevine, the east/westbound 10, 40, 80, and even 50 once, 40 is cool. Its all pretty and as said before 6% grade is the max. If I'm not mistaken 6% maybe a maximum by some federal highway standard ? Some one will correct me, as I am mostly assuming from experience
