Beautiful but a bit scary. No guard rails on the up climb. Mountain side going down
We were towing a popup middle of the summer. The road is very narrow and grade is 8% or more and very curvy. The Kicker, Sleet and Snow was on ground and falling when we drove it. Scary as hell, no pull out areas once you start descent. I do not recommend driving it with a trailer especially without trailer brake unless you are a local or you know their is NOT a storm up there (6200ft) . Got 2 stars because it is beautiful and if not for ICE and Snow in June it would have been much nicer and not a white knuckle experience.
