You will encounter some rocky areas of road with a few mud holes here and there. The countryside is mostly open and used for cattle grazing. You will have cell service thru most of the area.

You could come upon large Belly Dump Trucks using the route to transport stone to one of the bigger ranches. The route passes by Hagan Pond where wildlife might be seen getting a drink. Old Stage Road ends and you will turn South West on the Gold Creek Road and you can finish your ride into French Gulch. Many piles of Gold Tailings can be seen along Gold Creek Road.
