You will notice I was challenged with my route finding today and messed up two turns. Don't do the out and back portion on 614 where I should have turned on 439. Also, don't take the right turn off of 459 like I did. Just stay on the blacktop all the way to Highway 97.
HWY 97 has little to no shoulder and is a busy road. Most of the drivers were great. But, beware!
It was a hot when did this ride. Water is available at Wolfe Lodge Campground and then at the Beauty Creek Campground at the bottom of the long blacktop descent. It's hand pump water station. You can also loop back to the Wolfe Lodge once you cross I-90 and refill there as well.
Road 439 alone is worth the effort on this ride. Huge views and good dirt on the road.
Overall, there is more pavement on this route than I generally include, however, the dirt and gravel portions on the ride are the real deal.
Have fun!
