Tejon Pass is a mountain pass in southern California, which traverses the Grapevine Canyon. Tejon Summit is located on Interstate 5 approximately 70 miles north of Los Angeles, California. Tejon pass is often called the Grapevine, however, the Grapevine more correctly references the steep 5 1/2 mile grade section at the northern end of this pass. Northbound I-5 from Tejon Summit has a vertical descent of 2613 feet over 11.6 miles. The grade is steep for the first 2 to 3 miles then it lessens significantly before reaching the very steep grade section called the Grapevine Hill at 6.5 miles north of the summit.
