Trail Overview

This road offers a rewarding variety of experiences for the OHV enthusiast. From the intersection with the Lemhi Pass road to the intersection with the Yearian Creek Road, the tread is a good gravel road suitable for most vehicles, after passing the Yeaian Creek intersection, the road climbs and the tread narrows and becomes increasingly rocky with washouts, ruts, and rocky intervals. After climbing to the top of the ridge, the antennas from the electronic site at the peak of Ramsey Mountain can be seen in the distance and the traveler will wonder how the road will get there. The road from the electronic sites back down to the Lemhi Valley floor is quite steep with many hairpin switchbacks, but is well constructed and maintained and can be easily managed. The road ends when it intersects with the old Highway 28 gravel road.
