Difficulty

This route is not maintained but is not difficult for Jeeps, 4X4s, SXSs, or motorcycles. You will mostly run into ruts causing the issues of clearance.

History

There are some random off-grid living and cabins off this Forest Service road. Enjoy the very beautiful views.

There were some big water run off spots and ruts after last weeks rain. Only hit 2 high clearance preferred ruts. Most of the road was in decent condition. Easy enough to skillfully manage with AWD.

Few ft of snow currently. Sxs struggled towards the top. Wouldn’t try it unless you have an off road rig.
