This a wide, normally well-maintained, unpaved 2WD road. The road may be corrugated and suffer some erosion, but it can be safely traversed by a normal passenger car in good conditions.

The route travels through pine forest with occasional aspen groves and past many interesting, large rock formations.

A viewpoint to see the beautiful Pikes Peak.
