This gravel forest road is a steady climb from 3000 ft to 4500 ft. Watch for Sooty and Ruffed Grouse in the shaded stretches, and Mountain Quail in logged areas, along with Pileated Woodpecker, Varied and Hermit Thrushes, and Hermit, Townsend’s, Wilson’s and MacGillivray’s Warblers. The wildflower meadows in Bohemia Saddle are alive with hummingbirds in June. Most will be Rufous but with luck you might spot a Calliope or Black-chinned Hummingbird. Keep an eye open for Northern Goshawk, along with other raptors that soar along the ridge. This road can be impassable due to snow, Nov-May or sometimes into June. Watch out for off-road vehicles at crossings with old mining trails, which are used as motorized trails. Vault toilets are located at several National Forest campgrounds along Forest Rd 22; higher up only primitive facilities are available.
