Great views on a clear day! Road surface a bit potholes and patched in some places and forestry operations or farm vehicles don’t help. On the plus side it is v quiet in terms of traffic. I found the stats inaccurate: steepest section according to Garmin was 19％ with an average of 9％. Road sign suggested 15％.
