The upper section of the gravel road can be anything from smooth to rough, or washboard to puddle-laden, depending on the time of the season. The lower section is a "primitive" gravel road descending down a steep hill to the John Day River.

Difficulty

Depending on the time of year, the gravel road can be rough with pockets of washboard sections. It may also have many areas of mud puddles, usually under 12 inches deep. The steep descent down to the river could have a few small to medium-sized rock obstacles that have eroded out of the hillside. The descending section could also be quite slippery in the wetter months.
