    the steepest road in America is in Pittsburgh and Tennessee also has 14° roads around Chattanooga.

    Height of mountain does not neccessarily dictate steepness of roads

      Yeah, there seems to be this idea that just because you have peaks at 14k that your mountain is 14k feet tall.

      That being said, I took a very hungover drive up and through the Eisenhower Tunnel, and I could see it being a bit daunting in a truck for sure.
