When automobile traffic made steep old wagon roads obsolete, a remarkable new highway grade was built down this hill in 1917. 
With a series of sharp curves that let cars go 20 or 30 miles an hour — a good speed for that time — a gradual 10-mile 2000-foot grade was designed.  It still can be used by anyone  not in too much of a hurry who wants to see an engineering model of early highway construction.
