Yes. It's not horrible if you compare it to like Pennsylvania or West Virginia, but you'll be surprised at the number of 100 and 150 foot climbs up and down in that part of Florida. Using my Topo program, I climbed 3070 feet from Monticello FL to Chattahoochie FL.... And I would hate to do that climb from the Apalachicola River into Chattahoochee FL from the west on US 90.. it's a 7 percent grade of 200 feet climbing...
