It’s a long isolated road with constant construction and the construction is mostly repair. Not much traffic and only saw two cop cars. One was made of plywood so I wouldn’t count on the road being a lot better. It was 2012 when we made the trip. The road wasn’t washboard rough but you bounce around and it will rearrange your luggage. Now for the good part. We saw lots of bears, one mountain lion,moose, and buffalo. Beautiful scenery. It’s worth the trip.
