outbackmac, Howdy;

I don't understand your question.
under the photo that is the heading for the website you linked, in the righ hand of the index row is this;

Hope that this is what you were asking for. If I'm wrong and this isn't the directions you need please specify with a bit more detail.

I was told by someone a while back that some of the rodes in the area are very tight and was lookin for some local info.

outbackmac, Howdy;

I looked at it on Goo-goo Earth (pix are from 10/10).

The directions given in the link have some notations are in RED. It may be that those are the exits and roads to avoid.
You could call them and ask.

When I drove over the road I knew that if a US hiway were listed it would be ok as (if I remember correctly), they have to be a minimum of 10 feet wide. That's inside the lines. State hiways are 8feet and Inter-States ar 12 to 14 feet.

You may have to watch how wide you should take a curve. Storms have a tendency to bring things down the hillsides... some hang over the lines not knowing what is right or wrong .... :confused:

OutbackMac,

We vacationed in this general area several years ago, but weren't towing at the time.....

Some of the secondary roads (although regulation width) are indeed narrow, with step grades & switchbacks.

I'd also suggest that you follow the directions given by the RV Park - they're good directions!
As Hankaye said, the RED notations are specific info on which roads to use, or not use, etc.


EDITED to add: OutbackMac, don't take shortcuts ;)

The most recent review [August 2010] for Mountain Glen RV talks specifically about their route to the campground.
It says (in part): ".....follow their directions on their web site.....".

Hope this helps,
