10,000MSL.
I80 to SLC, then I15 to LAS

What max altitude MSL for that route?


Those are interstate Highways...


I understand. And in order to fly at X feet AGL I need to know what GL
is. Last time I checked we express that in feet above MSL.

It wasn't apparent you were going along with the "I80 to SLC"
recommendation...

No, it's just that you've gotten in the habit of arguing with me this
week in the gun thread.

I can get pass elevations from a Rand-McNalley road atlas.

I believe the I-80 - SLC then I-15 to LAS pretty much keeps you
to 9500 MSL but watch out for the MOAs around SLC.

What isn't clear is what part of the East Coast the OP is coming from.
The I-80 route is fine for the north side. But if coming from the south
part, I-10/I-20/I-40 works very well, again, with no need to go above
10.5K. Check the sectionals..

How about TERRAIN elevations from a sectional, or better yet, a WAC chart?

Main highway are shown on those.
