Be careful on this road! In 2003 I had a head-on collision on the Mt Loop Hwy. Just north of the Goat Lake road. A man in a brand new Ford Ranger 2wd was coming northbound at about 45mph, it was a wide corner and lots of room to react, but he was going so fast that he lost control of his truck and hit us head-on. We were all okay thankfully. His truck was totaled, I drove my poor old 86' 4Runner home from there to Mount Vernon. When I took my insurance agent up there people were passing us like we were sitting still, on a wide single lane FS road! This is a great area for exploring, just drive slow and stay aware. |
