Road Scenery: 
|
|
Scenic
vistas, rolling hills, farms. Exceptional fall foliage.
Charles Mound, highest point in IL. just north of town of
Scales Mound. In my opinion , probably the most scenic fall
foliage road in this area. When you get to one end don't
hesitate to turn around and head the other way on it as
the views differ each way.

Road Quality: 
|
Smooth
road surface, plenty of sweeping corners and elevation
changes. Watch for deer, anytime of the day but especially
at dawn & dusk. If you DON'T see one in the early morning
or early evening your probably not paying attention.

the end point when the road meets Stagecoach
