This continuous road has several name changes as you drive it, including FS 4680, Horse Creek Road, and Joseph Creek Road. It begins a gravel road with many potholes at Forest Service Road 46 and runs along the top of Hell’s Canyon. After six miles, the gravel road descends to the river level and, on the way down, becomes a very rough dirt and rock road for about twelve miles. It then becomes a nice gravel road down to the Grande Ronde River. The first and last sections are suitable for driving in any vehicle. The middle section is very rough and slow, requiring ground clearance and durable tires, and four-wheel drive is recommended for going up. This road offers views of the river canyon from the top and bottom, making it a very interesting drive.
No campgrounds are along the road, but dispersed camping is allowed, although only a few pre-disturbed locations exist.
