17,133 feet of climbing, four mountain crossings over 3,600 feet and almost no other cars between Staunton and Elkins. The best road I’ve driven in a long time, and I drove it like I had a wedding cake in the passenger seat. A fall drive on US-250 from Staunton to Elkins in a 992 Carrera 4S: fog, Monterey, Allegheny Mountain at 4,311 feet, 17,133 feet of climbing and peak color. We climbed 17,133 feet and came down about 17,780 between Afton, Virginia, and Pittsburgh.
