But what the other thing this road is really famous for is the truckers.
There's a huge sign when you turn off Highway 96 that says - YOUR GPS IS WRONG!
They still ignore it. This is the result.
Yes all taken on the single lane canyon road we just came down

I had to sit for an hour heading East on 4 or 108? over the Sierras one day due to a semi jammed into a corner trying to head west with a huge tow truck getting it straightened out. Once it was freed we all had to follow it back down along with a CHP where they finally pulled wide and let us thru. I was surprised he made it as far as he did. I’d hate to get that ticket and tow bill….
Finally, reaching Highway 96, one of my all-time favorite motorcycle roads. It goes for 150 miles of non-stop twisties, and we're so far north, we're near the Oregon border.
Yikes! That's crazy!
Especially since Highway 108-Sonora Pass is a 26% grade at the summit and
Highway 4-Ebbetts Pass is single lane at the summit for 23 miles.
I know, it was a real shocker. Two Harleys were at the front and they’d been stuck over two hours and had walked down to ask if there was enough room to get past and were told no. Only a dozen or so cars were stacked up. Can’t imagine what that driver was thinking. First trucking job maybe and no one told him 88 or even 50 was the truck route?
Pretty sure they limited the trucks on the Dragon. I can remember several times coming around a turn skimming the knee only to find a truck wedged into the turn ahead!
That's what adventure bikes are for! Just go off-road around that stuff.I know, it was a real shocker.

I dunno, 26% grade over huge rocks? Come on out and I’ll watch you.
Lots of rocks out here.
Some big some small.

To reach Weitchpec.
Fastest way out to the ocean is an unknown ride no one has ever heard of: Bald Hills Rd
Zero people, but it includes 3 miles of gravel in the center over the range but some amazing views of the ocean from the top of the range

I only 'discovered' this road a couple of years ago, but it's become a favorite. Most my maps say it's gravel.
