The Oregon cycle map had some alternative routes that routed you away from the main highway in some places with heavy traffic, some of those alternate back road were up to 12 percent grade. Main highway appeared to have a max grade of 8 percent.
Another surprise for me was how remote some of it was. At one point there were even free range cattle on the road.
