Highest and Lowest Elevations: Post Yours 🏔️

Who’s got the highest range in elevation? I’m a shade over 6k, but haven’t been very low since update.

Berthoud Pass.

I'm just impressed that your lowest elevation is still 5178.

Mine's ~7250 or 7300 feet right now. < sea level to over 7200 feet. This much difference is pretty easy going from the Bay Area to Tahoe.

I cannot compete in the "Delta" race, but how about the "how low can you go" race...?

“Z” axis the most difficult for GPS accuracy

If you are referring to the negative elevation reading, that is accurate... running through Indio on my way to the PNW. There are so below sea level areas in NW Mexico as well.

wow how do you not pass out?
I drove from see level to 6000 feet in one day, and I began to feel lightheaded...

Nope, not referring to any specific post. Only mentioning perceived altitude errors are common on commercial-grade GPS equip.….the Z axis

My lowest is -20 and I know the lowest I've been is officially 16

Denver metro to the top of Loveland or Bethoud pass is 6000-7000' gain in 60 mins. Lots of people here do that weekly.

Denver to the top of Mt Blue Sky (I did this last year in my R1T) or C Springs to the top of Pikes's Peak can be done in 1-2 hours and are 8000-9000' gain.

Rivian engineer in a R1T did the Pike's Peak hill climb (so 4000-5000' gain) last year in a little over 11 minutes.

My lowest is at -520 (and I've never been below 0, so it's all GPS error). Does that get me something?

Wish I had my R1S to play along. We live in Denver (5,280) and have a cabin in Leadville (10,200) that I go to every few weeks. Plenty of opportunity to get up higher there too. As mpw81 says, it's an easy drive up to Mt Blue Sky - the highest paved road in North America @ just over 14K. So guessing someone from here, who then goes on a road trip, should be able to get a 14K elevation delta.

It was pre-gauge view, but I've been down to the low 4000 ft realm and as high as 13,800 ft at the top of Mt Antero (Buena Vista). Could probably go a bit higher driving up the paved road on Pikes Peak or Mt Blue Sky (formerly Evans), but what fun would that be. I'm talking about a trip to Chicago next month, so then probably around 600 ft to nearly 14k ft when I do.

Yes..a pat on the back for understanding why! Haha
