Edged by a glistening stretch of the Missouri River, Sioux City historically played a pivotal role in Westward expansion with associated sights that today, along with river cruises and local hiking trails, draw in a steady stream of travelers.
From Teakettle Junction the
road becomes rougher. At the junction
3.2 miles in, the left fork (NE) continues
10 miles to White Top Mountain (4x4)
while the right fork leads one mile up
to the Lost Burro Mine. The main road
continues through Hidden Valley and
Ulida Flat, passing several abandoned
mining areas. The road climbs steeply
up onto the wooded plateau that is
Hunter Mountain. Snow and icy
conditions may make this section
impassable in winter. The road
improves after it joins the southern end
of Saline Valley Road to Hwy 190.
