Special Considerations

• Please be aware that wildfires are an ever-present danger in the dry summer months. Follow all posted signs regarding campfires and do not throw cigarettes out the car window.
• If you are driving a large RV and find that you are relishing the scenery more slowly than those in your rear view mirror, please be courteous and pull over to let them pass.
• Please respect property owners' rights by not trespassing or littering.
• This byway traverses high mountain passes, so be prepared for all types of weather.
