Motorcycle Road Additional info
This is The Road Less Travelled! It shows up on AAA maps, but is a bugger to find on your GPS or Google/Yahoo Maps. It is a great technical road; not for the beginner, the faint of heart nor those looking for well maintained state highways. It is paved all the way, but narrows to one lane for parts. It is full of hazards, from pot holes, to deer and even a bison! There is one oily section, and you may encounter large trucks, so ride with care! That said, you will encounter a challenging, twisty road with spectacular scenery, and very light traffic. You are limited only by your skill and courage!
