Dispersed camping allowed inside the forest, and there are a few pay campgrounds. Unlicensed vehicles allowed on forest roads, and there are lots of legal roads to explore.

Difficulty
Easy. Smooth maintained gravel until you near the top, where it is slightly rougher. Many blind curves with dangerous dropoffs. Drive defensively at all times. Approaching dust clouds indicate oncoming vehicles. Road is not plowed when it snows.
History
We recommend the side trip to Deep Creek Overlook. The creek has carved a steepwalled canyon 2,300 feet deep. Geologists estimate the process took 350 million years.
