Several Factors Make 436 Barrett Drive Easily Accessible
|
|
436 Barrett Drive is 1 mile from Kingsbury Grade, (Hwy 207).
|
The Grade is a good road.
The Grade is the fastest, shortest, and most direct route in and out of South Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe's largest and best casinos are at the bottom of the Grade.
Heavenly Ski Area's Nevada ski lifts are at the summit of Kingsbury Grade.
|
| |
|
Kingsbury Grade has light traffic
compared with other Tahoe highways.
|
|
Relatively few people know that the Grade is
a good road in and out of the basin, because it
does not look like a major road on most maps.
So the Grade has much less traffic than the other
5 routes in and out of the Tahoe basin.
|
| |
|
The Grade does not traverse any towns.
|
The other routes in and out of the Tahoe
Basin traverse many busy incorporated areas.
You cross only one stoplight between 436 Barrett Drive
and Tahoe's largest and best casinos.
You cross no stoplights between
Hwy 395 and 436 Barrett Drive.
Hwy 395 runs directly to Reno International Airport, and is the main
highway on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada
from Southern California to Northern California.
|
| |
|
The Grade is a moderate speed two
lane highway, & is less stressful to
drive than Hwy
50. |
Highway 50 is the route that most people use to
access most other areas in South Lake Tahoe.
Highway 50 is a curvy 4 lane undivided highway.
Traffic is much heavier and moves faster on 50. |
| |
|
Kingsbury Grade can get you to
Reno International Airport on time when other
roads can't. |
| |
|
Kingsbury Grade is a Scenic Route: |
| Kingsbury Grade offers spectacular views of the
Carson Valley and surrounding mountain ranges,
and passes through wildlife areas and ranches. |
| |
|
436 Barrett Drive is in Nevada: |
| The Nevada side of Lake Tahoe is
much less densely populated than the California side, so you
encounter fewer people and less traffic congestion and weather related
delays. Also, snow removal services are much better on
the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. |
| |
|
Several Factors Make 436 Barrett Drive Easily Accessible in Winter
|
|
436
Barrett Drive is surrounded by excellent snow removal services. |
436 Barrett Drive gets large amounts of snow
due to its high
elevation and geographic
situation.
Despite the heavy snow, 436 Barrett Drive is very
accessible due to its proximity to key
highways and due to the excellent snow
removal services in the neighborhood. |
| |
|
Snow removal services in the
neighborhood are purchased directly by
property owners. |
Because the service is private, and we pay them
directly, they are very responsive and efficient.
Tax and government systems cannot rival it in
efficiency, quality, and responsiveness. |
| |
|
436 Barrett Drive is 100 yards from the
neighborhood school bus route. |
Schools almost never close in Tahoe.
If the big heavy school bus can get there in the
snow, your small light car can get there in the
snow. |
| |
|
436 Barrett Drive is 1 mile from
Kingsbury Grade, (Hwy 207), along the school bus
route. |
The Grade links Lake Tahoe with the Minden, the Douglass County
Seat, in the Carson Valley.
Because the Grade is the main road for all the
county government vehicles in the area,
the County road and snow removal crews keep the Grade in good
repair and snow free. |
| |
|
The Grade is also the most direct
route in and out of the Tahoe Basin. |
| So you
spend relatively little time driving in the snow
at high elevation when you drive the Grade to and
from the Lake. 436 Barrett Drive is at the crest of
the Sierra Nevada, but is also at the edge of the
Great Basin and desert. When you cross
Daggett Summit on the Grade, just 1.5 miles from
436 Barrett Drive, you drop immediately into the arid
Carson Valley. The Carson Valley is in the
rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada, thus the Grade is a fast and
snow free route to Lake Tahoe. |
