FS 1663/Otis Valley Road

Starting off labeled as FS 1663, the road will join Otis Valley Road. It is a well-maintained gravel road going south from FS 16 and is suitable for almost any vehicle. When it leaves the National Forest, the name is changed to Otis Valley Road. While in the forest the views along 1663 are limited by trees with only a few places to get a longer view, however, the views are magnificent from the Antelope Lookout! The road to Antelope Lookout is about 100 yards east of the intersection of 1663 and FS14 on the right. This short stretch of road does not require 4WD but does need good ground clearance and good tires. After leaving the forest, the landscape opens up into range land and pastures.

Dispersed camping is allowed, but there are very few established sites. There are no campgrounds along 1663.

In the northern part of 1663, prior to the intersection with FS 14, the forest understory and most of the mature trees are being cleared back about 150 feet from the road to make a fire defense zone in the event of a wildfire in the area.

Please note that maps show this road name changing several different times. It could be referred to as NF-1663, Otis Valley, Prarie-Dewsey Road, and even NF-16.
