This paved road is suitable for all vehicles, RVs, and Motorhomes. My favorite viewpoint is the White River Valley Overlook, and you have to see the sunset from Pinnacles Overlook.
Sage Creek Rim Road for a high likelihood of seeing bison. This road has no vehicle restrictions, but be aware that it’s a dirt and gravel road.
