The road to Fredonyer Pass in California is well worth the time
Fredonyer Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.762m (5,780ft) above the sea level, located in Lassen County, in northeastern California, in USA.
The road to the summit is paved. It’s called State Route 36 (Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway). The road can be accessed year round but may be closed for short periods in winter when the weather is bad. The pass is named after Dr. Atlas Fredonyer, who discovered the pass in 1850. In the early 1900s, the pass was known as Fredonia Pass.
The pass is 25.58km (15.9 miles) long, running west-east from Coppervale to Susanville, the county seat of Lassen County. The road is steep, hitting a 6% through some of the ramps.
