Trail Overview

Starting from Hells Canyon/Snake River, this route will take you up a winding single-lane track with great views and significant exposures. As you get higher, the terrain and flora will transform from rock to grass and brush-covered to forested. People do live along this remote route so please ravel slower and keep dust to a minimum when passing through their property.

Status Reports

Trail was open and maintained all the way to Cuprum. After Cuprum it is no longer maintained and there is lots of snow on the trail (up to 1 foot of untouched snow plus packed snow underneath) it is supposed to snow for a few days to a week up in that area here in a couple of days so I would definitely recommend drivers experienced with snow as well as rescue equipment and a properly equipped rig
