It passes through a phenomenally beautiful country where you are likely to see a number of deer, elk, moose, and many smaller critters. There is also a number of excellent fishing opportunities along the way. This trail is easily passable with any stock SUV as long as it's not snow-covered.

Difficulty
A few areas are very steep and narrow. There are sections that are only one vehicle (full-size) wide so in the event of an oncoming vehicle, be prepared to either back up to the nearest available pull-off or wait for them to do so. Traveling the northern sections of this route on snow days would not be recommended.
