Wide variety of surface types. Lots of smooth gravel interspersed with some double track, some loose surfaces. Yampa Bench Road is like southern Utah; eg some dust/sand, some exposed slickroad. Pleasantly underbiked on a gravel bike. Very steep climb miles 54-56. last 15 miles on beautiful smooth pavement through high sagebrush plains in the national monument. Can add a trip down to the Yampa/Green confluence at mile 48.
