Yeah, it's a 4x4 road, but few cars venture up it, and it's one heck of a workout along a beautiful canyon--is there any canyon in the area that isn't beautiful? At one point, there is a huge piece of sandstone that has fallen across the road, leaving an opening just large enough to squeeze a vehicle through. Pretty cool. No sandstone to ride on, so it's something different. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
