I forgot where we talked about this, but I do remember a thread talking about it. Counterintuitively, crossing the Cascades twice is actually easier than all the little ups and downs along I-5.

You can also see that by road---if you check Google maps, it is actually shorter, from the junction around Redding, to take Highway 97 and then cross the Cascades, than to go along I-5.


Yep, it looks like it was me who posted about it:
