NFDR 2923 is a fairly well-maintained gravel road to traverse from Highway 101 to NFDR 29, a much more interesting path to Forks if you're headed that way! It starts nice and wide, narrowing down a little as you near the peak of the road, but it is traveled enough to keep the foliage mostly back from the sides of the road. Like most of the roads through this portion of Olympic National Forest, you get a very pretty forest drive down in the lower sections and lovely views as you get closer to the top. As may be expected in a rainforest, clouds can often obscure the top, though the sky is gorgeous on a clear night.
There are a few spur roads off to the side as you go up and down, and some of them have small campsite areas, but there isn't much directly on the road. Right at the beginning on the north end, there's a splinter off the road that leads to a flat open area that is pre-disturbed, with a fire ring and a metal table that seems to have been left in place.
