The old, paved rd, OR Mtn Rd, Hwy 324, over the mtn is still in decent shape, about 6 miles long. S of the tunnel, it's on the W side of 199. N, on the East side. I put my flashers on, & for the down hill half, geared down my Corolla. No problems, i.e., w/ ground clearance.
At the rest area, there's a gated, abandoned rd that can be walked/biked, to the 324. Caltrans' rules include, no such hikes, while parked there. Fortunatly, there's a turnout, SW of the Rest Area.
Neither rd has dramatic views, but goes thru lush, temperate rain forest; quite nice. Plenty of camping spots, along the 324. At mile post 3.29 is a 100 yard spur, w/ a turn around. Opposite that, & 70 yds downhill on the 324, is where the Rest Area rd intersects, blocked & disguised by a dirt mound.
