| Description: | |||||||||||||||
| Park Creek Road is a graded gravel road that starts from the Park Creek campground off of Highway 160 and connects with Platoro. I have only driven the middle section between the Summitville, FR330, road and Elwood Pass, FR667. This section is mostly a lane and a half graded gravel road. As a main connector road it will have more traffic than the other surrounding roads. |
