Ralph, that's 120 feet fall in 52,800 feet of run.
That's about 2/10 percent grade.  A locomotive will run on
3 percent grade!

I guess depending how you look at it we don't have a lot of elevation
change here. I'm at almost
the 2100 foot level here in my yard . When I get to town about ten miles
south I am at 1980 feet. All the land
here gradually slopes to the south as part of the Qu'appelle watershed.
