Some scary hairpin turns towards the top, but mostly a slow scenic road that leads you to a scenic overlook of the Gros Ventre mountains and the Hole that is Jackson's! Good place to go to watch 4th of July fireworks in the distance.

Didn't know what to expect when we drove up the road, but when we were near the summit we couldn't believe what we were seeing. BEAUTIFUL!!

This is a beautiful drive up to the top of the mountain and the view from the top is spectacular! We saw deer and black bear right by the road !

The sign says it is a narrow road, but for those of us from the UK, it's about the width of the M2! Through woods we saw a deer at the edge of the road, then out to the view point, spectacular views and lots of butterflies. Fairly gentle gradients on the whole.

Beautiful drive up, don't stop at the first big pull over, go to the top and then come down and stop.

We went in the fall so we got a parking spot right away. Even though it was the "quiet season" it was busy enough, with the small parking lot always filled. Fortunately as one person arrived another would leave, so it was OK. I can't imagine coming here in high season (summer). It would be a nightmare. I would probably... More

This road is a little winding, with several switchbacks, but nothing difficult. We went about dusk, so the distant views were hazy, but beautiful. You could see "forever". WE saw a huge elk grazing by the road on the way up. Definitely recommend!

It is a short drive to the top with a hard paved road. It is narrow but you could see forever when you get up top.

It was a long and windy road...isn't that how the song goes? Well the writer of the song must have driven this road. The speed limit is 25 miles an hour, and it is a long and winding road. I think at one time, when the trees were smaller, there might have been a wonderful view of Jackson Lake from... More

It was a winding road, but definitely worth the trip to the top. Fantastic views awaited us and were were so happy to have made the trip. Be sure to take the little hike for a better view. It's not strenuous and you'll be rewarded with a better view.
