Summer conditions. Those few patches of snow easily avoidable. There was no need for traction. Just a note about this class 1/2 route (did not spot it elsewhere): from 4WD, at 10300 ft TH 10 miles return, add 3.2 return for 2WD TH at 9300 ft If driving in at night, you might mistake the 4WD turnoff (it looks like a turn-off, on the left, not like a continuation of the same road) for just another camping spot. Just watch the odometer mileage, as per Roach. 4WD stretch to be respected, narrow, without many chances to move out of the way. Portion runs along narrow wooded ridge. Jeep Wrangler likes it, with care, but Subaru not so much (NOT at all, actually). Quite a bit of hunting going on in the area. You will know either by camps close to 2WD or 4WD THs, or by horse packs. Orange colors would not hurt. |
