Special Considerations
Most of the route is somewhat narrow and winding. This means that there isn't much opportunity to pass slower vehicles, and speed limits average 30 mph.
A 200-foot long section of the route consists of hairpin curves, so you must slow down to about 15 mph in order to get around the 90-degree turns safely.
Restrictions
Because of heavy snowfall in the winter, the byway is closed to passenger vehicles from October to the first of June each year. However, Utah State Park employees groom the road for winter use.
