Well, you start at 600 meters elevation, and go over the pass at 1000 meters, and then all the way down to sea level. The journey is only 120km.ataman wrote:Has anyone tried to make it to Merritt, BC from Hope,BC ? It seems impossiable to me, but I wonder if you were to go slow enough, maybe you can make it???
You start at sea level, summit is 1210m and Merritt is 600m. You got is opposite...TonyWilliams wrote:

Looks pretty easy in the summer with a new condition car with no heater use.
The OP said he wants to go from Merritt to Hope, so starting at 600m. Is there really a valley deep enough to be at sea level in that area?ataman wrote:

Might as well figure the worst case. The OP is likely to want to come back after all.Berlino wrote:The OP said he wants to go from Merritt to Hope, so starting at 600m.

Try getting an elevation profile for the trip. From gpsvisualizer.com for example.Berlino wrote:The OP said he wants to go from Merritt to Hope, so starting at 600m. Is there really a valley deep enough to be at sea level in that area?ataman wrote:

He probably has rightly given up returning that way. Instead, there is a longer route which goes around the mountains.davewill wrote: Might as well figure the worst case. The OP is likely to want to come back after all.
Thanks for all the work you've done on the range chart and elsewhere.TonyWilliams wrote: See range chart to see how I calculated this.
