I-90 elevations May 14, 2006, 10:25:17 am Yahoo Message Number: 66723I'd like to travel from Sheridan, WY to Seattle on I-90. My research indicates that the interstate rarely goes above 5000 feet elevation. I checked both the passes and the towns en route. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Due to health issues, I cannot be at higher than 5000 feet for very long. Are there any long stretches of I-90 above 5K? Any specific areas I should check out more thoroughly?Many thanks.Susan, 1979 22'TB, "Smokey"

Before I leave Sheridan I'll make sure they're checked out by a good mechanic. Rear ones are new, but won't be by the time I even get to Sheridan so I'll definitely follow your advice.Susan, 1979 22'TB, "Smokey"
