This dirt road starts at Hwy 24 and ends at Hwy 24 again further to the south: This road is flat for the first 1/2 mile before steadily climbing switchbacks through forest for another 2 miles or so before reaching a ridge with outstanding views of the Homestake Valley and Camp Hale. It then climbs quickly into the forest and continues winding south for a total of 20 miles over the Continental Divide and ending up back at Hwy 24.
