Nothing like sliding a long ways backwards against your will to rethink the capabilities of you your tires and your truck on that particular day greydog I can relate.
I haven't made it out to Wells Gray that way but have it on my list of things to do for sure. I read in the paper this summer that the area you're talking about lost a great length of the road along the Clearwater river during last years floods. The mayor of Clearwater was looking for funding amongst a lot of finger pointing to get the road repaired. Rebuilt actually from the sat photos its quite a length. Parks are nice but when there's no industry there's no one around to take care of such "roads" it seems.
