497-Onion Valley Road, over 8% climb to the top

We are just leaving Grays Meadows campground at 2000’ elevation above the sea level, headed up Onion Valley Road which is a very steep road located in the Eastern Sierra Inyo National Forest. The road actually starts in the town of Independence, two videos before this one, at 3,994 feet elevation above the sea level. It’s is 13 miles long to Onion Valley and the end of the road is at 9,163 feet elevation above the sea level. As you will see, it’s a very tough steep climb with lots of switchbacks, and a dramatic section of them about halfway up the climb is the highlight, as it offers huge exposure and views over the Owens Valley. Over this distance, the elevation gain is an average 7.6 % grade. The road is usually open from May to November, depending on snow conditions. Trailers are not recommended; tent trailers are permissible. The grade ramps up as you ascend, with the last ten miles averaging over 8 percent. Onion Valley road is rated as the most difficult road bike climb in California, and #6 in the United States. At the top is Onion Valley campground, the Bubbs Creek trail head and pack station. With that said, Onion Valley is at the top of one of the toughest and most scenic climbs in California and should be on your short list. So stick around and go on the ride to the top.
