Special Considerations

Restrictions
The byway starts as a two-lane paved road from Kemmerer to Lake Viva Naughton. It then changes to oiled gravel, then loose gravel at the forest boundary. The road is not completely accessible during winter and early spring, and travel is not advised in heavy rain or snow.
