Difficulty
Narrow road at times, with blind corners, steep inclines, protruding rocks, and deadfall. The road is usually graded every spring before Memorial Day Weekend, however, do not always count on it being graded. The road may be impassible before it is graded due to tree deadfall and snow drifts, please plan ahead and check conditions accordingly. Running water on road is possible with melting snowfall, and medium-sized rocks do protrude up from the road surface.
