Photo reminds me of Cabbage Hill on I 84 on many winter days. Seven miles of 6% if I remember correctly, it has been a couple years.Highway 95 through Central Id will look like that on many winter mornings, until the plows get to it.
That sure looks like a plow berm on the downhill edge of the road in the original photo.
I looked a little closer and think you're right....but it had snowed again since that plow went through.
There doesn't look to be a plow berm on the inside side of the road....and that is just a basic USFS mountain road so I am not sure why they would plow it. Maybe there's access to a county road down there or some of the ROW associated with it.
Ribka, are you sure it isn't a timber company road and they're the ones who plowed it? It seems to be an oddly small road to plow.
