The Lost Horse Road from Hamilton into Idaho? Is this the same as the Magurder Corrdor Road from just below Elk City (ID) to Darby (MT)? If so, it is a slow going road (113 miles and 8 hours). I visited Dixie, Idaho last June and passed the start of the road, but was deterred by the sign; rather I drove over the mountians on Route 12 (about 2.5X longer, but less time).
I worked in the area in the early '60s and then the road was a very marginal 4X4 truck road. Now it is a pretty good road, but with the sub-compact rental auto, I just chickened out.
The land in this area is very rough, steep and rugged. Carrying a 110 pound pack cross-country over the mountians, as we used to do to get out to a road or trail, is very difficult.
Yes it is the same road. And yes, it is an all day adventure coming from Elk City, even without a trailor. Coming from the MT side isn't so bad or long.
