US-302 between Barre and Groton, VT
Caution sign - steep grade
Total distance of grades 3 miles
1st half mile 8% with 40 mph turns
After that it steps down to 5-6%
About half way down there is another short 8% grade

Kancamagus Pass on NH 112 between Lincoln and Conway
East bound decent toward conway has 7% for 4 miles with 35 mph curves
The 7% grade is steady and lasts about 5 miles
The rest of the trip to Conway is rolling hills and mild grades
NOTE: the West bound lane from Lincoln is 9% for 3.6 miles with a 20 mph hairpin
I don't know what the grade is going into Lincoln from the West

If you stop in Conway, take the Mt. Washington tour. You will not be able to take a 1 ton dually up there, just a "regular" (define regular) pickup. the grade to the top is 12%
They have tours in GMC vans.

Hey, why am I tell you this - you are from Lincoln, NH.

Happy trails.

If anyone else is traveling and needs to know any grades along their route, give me a holler. I have both the East and West Mountains directory. They were worth the purchase price.
