Donner Pass
Its maximum elevation is 7,085 feet (2160 m) above sea level. It is a narrow pass with a very steep approach from the east, and a gradual approach from the west.
The Donner Pass Road runs through the Donner Pass. Interstate 80 crosses the Sierra crest through the Euer Saddle which is approximately two miles to the north. Euer Saddle is slightly higher than the Donner Pass, but it is also much wider.

This is about 200 yards from the top
