Starts on pavement by the town of Basin MT. Turns into a gravel road with steady climb up Galena Gulch Rd. Remains gravel with some rough spots after turning onto Water Gulch Road. At the highest point it becomes an ATV trail and descends with a couple spots that are very loose and steep. The short but steep down hill has some deep ruts created by ATVs. Motorized use is normally light so you shouldn't run into a lot of motorized traffic. There are some beautiful views and nice forested areas along this route.
