I am sure that our rating would have been more had we made it al the way to the Guard Station as we got a flat tire 23 miles in, 7 more to the guard station from Highway 20 at Edna creek. To say it is a rough road is understated. There are several miles of really sharp, rocky, road. High clearance was not the issue. We drove slow, a crawl over it and got the flat tire in an area where there was some dirt on the road but imbedded with rock. Maybe the warning about the road in could include just how bad FS312 Pikes Rd. is and the need for maybe an extra spare tire, as we decided to turn around and at least be headed out if we had another flat tire. We met a guy on the road with the Forest Service, just before we got the flat tire and he told us that the road gets worse. We have traveled the Middle Fork Rd. and some of the North Fork Rd. and stayed at Dutch Creek Cabin and Barber Flats Cabin several times as well as Iron Lake A frame out of Salmon (long trek) with a lot of good memories. The view from Pikes Rd going to Graham guard station is spectacular though and I’d like to try to make it again with a couple extra spare tires.
