Scenery
Great views of the White mountains and the Sierras, with continuous vistas of the whole route. You'll pass through the beautiful Westgard Pass and have fantastic views from it's 7,313 feet of elevation. Westgard is the only pass connecting the Owens Valley to Deep Springs Valley.
Drive Enjoyment
The road is well paved, but narrow and very twisty. Not a good road for strictly freeway type riders. many hairpins with steep drop offs. This is definitely one of those roads you take it easy going and hurry back, after you know the road. Overall, 168 is challenging and one of the best Motorcycle roads I have ever been on!
Tourism Opportunities
There are no stores or gas stations. The nearest gas from the Nevada junction of 95 and 266 is another 15 miles, so make sure you have enough range!
