Mostly improved dirt roads. Canyon roads maintained by the county and East of Mountains road follows High Tension Power Lines so that road is in good condition also. Most roads are accessible to Cars but not recommended, Best for 4x4, ATV, Motorcycle Dirt Bikes, Mountain Bikes and hiking.

This route is in the terrible category for me. Soldier Pass Road is a highlight but if I were to do this ride again I would skip the N-S portion East of the mountains. I would much prefer the highway to that road. I also find it hard to believe that anyone did this in 2 hours without completly trashing their gravel bike.

It took Just under 2 hours at a moderate speed. The road between the mountains is a well maintained dirt road. to the south and east side of the mountains is less well maintained. No rocky descents or steep hills to climb, just a fun loop. There is one section near 68 that has no road at all and is a simple trail that is maybe 1/4 mile wide but is an easy ride. I usually travel it counter clockwise.

How long did this take you? Descents rocky and loose or faster?
