This is a mostly gravel route, with a few necessary connections on blacktops, with stops at C stores in Ogden and Boone. Although not a lot of total elevation gain, some reasonable hills for the area north of Des Moines. One of my favorite routes in the area.

Note that this route also goes north to Vegor's Cemetery, which includes both Native American mounds and historic headstones for the area. There is also a potential C store stop in Stratford as well.
