Donner Pass from Nevada City

Donner Pass from Nevada City covers 33.9km and 864m of climbing, reaching 2,162m at the summit. The average gradient of 2.5% disguises ramps of 6.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. This is a climb of endurance — the kind of effort measured in hours, where pacing matters more than power. At 2,162m, the summit rises above the treeline into an exposed, often windswept landscape. Located in California, United-states.
