That's an amazing structure! The climb in must have been quite strenuous.

Not quite 4X4 rough, but I wouldn't try it in a Prius. The two-track road cuts through a bowl and a saddle between two peaks. I see a lot of wildlife driving that stretch (which I only drive every two weeks): elk, moose, deer, mountain lions, bear, and wolves .. plus birds galore. I hear wolves at night on two opposite sides of my mountain .. down in the drainages .. and I am told that it is two separate packs.
