Grand Canyon Highway from North Rim
Arizona, united-states
The Grand rises 8.9km through alpine terrain above the treeline, gaining 223m to 2,685m. The average gradient of 2.5% disguises ramps of 6.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The summit at 2,685m sits above the treeline, where the air thins and the views extend to distant peaks. Located in Arizona, United-states.
- Summit above 2600m — expect thin air, snow into early summer, and conditions that change fast.
- A false flat around km 2 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
