The unpaved road to Fandango Pass
Fandango Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.879m (6,164ft) above the sea level, located in Modoc County, in the far northeast corner of the U.S. state of California.
Tucked away in the Warner Mountains, within the Modoc National Forest, the road to the summit, also known as Lassen Pass, Lassen Cut-off, Lassen Horn or Lassen's Pass, is a well maintained gravel road. It’s called Fandango Pass Road (County Road 9). The pass marks the convergence of two famous pioneer trails, the Applegate Trail and the Lassen Trail.
The pass is 24.46km (15.2 miles) long, running west-southwest from US-395 to Surprise Valley Road. The road is suitable for passenger vehicles in all but the most inclement weather. It features a few steep sections.
