| June 17, 2006: Sonora Pass (9,624') had obviously not been open for very long. At Kennedy Meadows there is a sign stating that you will encounter 26% grades along the next nine miles of road. I knew this and had always wanted to attempt this stretch of road. Fortunately, the weather was cool and, after eating a few apple wedges, I perservered and was able to grunt my way to the top.
