Well, although beautiful the GPS took us on this road in March. We didn't see the signs and a big f250 pulling a 30 ft trailer all the way from the vortex to gold beach was not for the faint of heart. Lots of snow at the top, barley made alot of the turns, the road narrowed so much my rv tires just gripping the very edge of the road. Again it was beautiful but take a jeep.
