This rugged dirt road starts at Shrine Pass Road #709 and ends at Resolution Road #702 near the top of Ptarmigan Pass. It has several creek crossings and rocky sections requiring a high-clearance 4WD vehicle. There are panoramic views at the top of Ptarmigan Pass, where the much easier Resolution Road #702 then descends down to Camp Hale.
