That grade is NO joke (11 or 12% if memory is accurate), and the switchbacks are blind and tight, so you will be crossing yellow lines (and people speed up and down). Ranger escorted us out of park because of the traffic and us having to cross yellow in a few blind corners. They were great about it!

    It was very well worth it. Here's site 89 (much easier than 90)Attachment 45091
    Small world! We were in 90 back in 2018 when we had our Reflection!!!
    But it was only 26 feet long (smallest fiver GD ever made) so it was fine.
    That was without a doubt the best campground we've been to in the whole state of Texas.

    We've since graduated to a new Tiffin motorhome and are experiencing the full-time RV'ing life in a completely different style.
    I don't think I'd take this beast down that grade though so we'll have to skip Palo Duro if we ever end up back in Texas.
    These days we spend our winters in Arizona and our summers at a deeded lot we bought up on the Oregon coast!

    Howdy to all my old forum pals!

    Resistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.
