North bound side of I15 about 13 miles north of baker (towards Vegas for you out of staters...).<br />

  • Up the Halloran Grade out of Baker towards Las Vegas.  It can be a real car killer, snow in the winter and 110 plus in summer.  At times a 6 percent grade and tops out about 4300 feet after a 17 mile run.  This was taken at the 3000 ft. level.
