This information is vital to drivers of large vehicles such as trucks and recreational vehicles. If you have ever lost your brakes while descending a mountain  you will understand how important it is to know ahead of time what the mountain grades are like. With this information  you can either plan a different route  or at least be prepared for the grades that you must climb and descend. This book tells how long the grades are  how steep (%) they are  whether the roads are two  three  or four lane  if they have switchbacks  sharp curves  narrow shoulders  sharp dropoffs  escape ramps  etc. This is the fourth edition of the western book and it includes 150 new pass and grade locations (for a total of 400 in the western states.) In addition  all of the black and white maps have been replaced with color relief maps. There is a companion book  \"Mountain Directory East for Truckers  RV  and Motorhome Drivers\" which gives similar information but covers the mountainous areas in eleven eastern states. The eastern book includes locations and descriptions of over 300 mountain passes and steep grades. It too is a new edition with color relief maps. Together  the two books give locations and descriptions of over 700 mountain passes and steep grades in 22 states. Almost 30 000 copies have been sold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648264593461,"sku":"ByrdShop_0964680599","price":203.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780964680593.jpg?v=1781714591","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mountain-directory-west-for-truckers-rv-and-motorhome-drivers-9780964680593","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
