9.7 of the 21.3 miles in are maintained only for high-clearance vehicles, dirt the whole way. Stretches run along a shelf with a drop of up to ~150 ft on the downhill side. Few of the stretches measured have level ground to pull onto. Winds through 14 switchbacks. Dead-end road with no mapped turnaround, so expect to back out or unhitch.

Private here, with the nearest through road 1.3 miles off. Black Peak stands 1,928 ft above the site, 3.3 miles west.

Kootenai National Forest, Cabinet Ranger District: Camping or otherwise occupying a single site for over 16 consecutive days within a calendar year. Camping or otherwise occupying any number of sites over 32 cumulative days within a calendar year.
