Go if

Tent campers or high-clearance truck owners who want genuine solitude in the Caribou-Targhee and don't need potable water on-site. Summer weekdays are especially quiet, and the creek, trails, and mountain biking are right there.

Skip if

Low-clearance vehicles won't make it, reviewers call the road 'horrible,' with boulders exposed from years of ATV abuse. No potable water at any time of year means hauling everything from Montpelier, 15 miles out.
