Washboards and potholes worst north of the Windy Peak Outdoor Lab. Saw sedans and box trucks using the road with no issue.

Road was half paved half dirt , very dusty and bumpy, not the best smooth trails to ride through. Views were amazing. Go out there and enjoy the good weather.

Traveled from Country Rd 70 intersection north. Open, mostly paved from this point as you’re traveling through private properties.

This road shouldn’t be on ONX. It’s 50% paved and the side of the roads are marked “private property” constantly.

Road had some washboard sections but is in good shape. road narrows in spots and can be difficult to pass vehicles pulling campers so be cautious in blind turns.

Looks like it was just resurfaced and had gotten some rain the night before. Some ppl headed to the lake but it was still pretty open.

Easy road in great condition - the washboards in some sections rattle you pretty good but the rest of the trail is well maintained.
