We drove the Bear Camp Road in summer once and vowed we would never drive it again. And we have a 4WD vehicle. It is one scarey road.
Hi! I haven't driven that specific road but it is typical of northwest Forest Service or similar roads that I would drive in the summer with a 4WD and plenty of emergency supplies -- preparing for an unanticipated overnight due to road conditions or mechanical problems. And would always leave a "flight plan" with family. Wouldn't dream of heading out this time of year. Many of those roads are impassable right now to untracked vehicles anyway.
Scary in what way? Cliffs, narrow, winding ...?
