Road Bulletins
I wouldn't want to meet oncoming traffic on this road as it's mostly single file with a steep drop on one side all the way up. Luckily it's a pretty quiet spot, didn't see anybody from 8am - 11am on a sunny summer Saturday.
After KM2.75 I'd rate this road 4x4 HC. You'll definitely want something with a good low range as its very steep. I had no issues with traction whatsoever however, I was aired down and had a couple hundred pounds in my bed. The small switchbacks KM2.75-3 were fine driving up in 4x4 unlocked diff without having to do a 3 point for the turns.
After the steep switchbacks you go up and over the highpoint, then back down another steep section. From there is a pretty easy drive until just before the end where there's another steep hill. I didn't bother to drive up and parked at the bottom. Theres enough room to park at the top, but its still on a pretty good slope.
Beyond is very steep and loose with tight switchbacks. My crossover lacked the traction so I had to back down. Do not attempt this without being a very skilled/confident driver. The road goes a few minutes beyond this steep section before truly ending and becoming a singletrack hiking trail
Alternative parking areas include:
- Large switchback landing: 50.763384, -121.871512
- Large switchback landing: 50.767455, -121.871670
I added a number of Photosphere photographs for this road, the new road, and the backside road to Google Maps (Streetview).
OpenStreetMap has been updated as well.
