We encountered cows on the highway. South to Sumpter, they are rebuilding the bridge where these roads intersect. Other than that the pavement is excellent. There are many animals throughout the area. We encountered a family of mule deer, two antelope and an elk that day. Scott Fraser Calgary Comments:

From the eastern end it links with road to Sumpter or north to La Grande among the Grande Ronde or east and higher through the mountains to Anthony Lake, when it drops 4000 feet in 15 miles. The whole area is excellent riding. Scott Fraser Calgary This is an amazing road.
