This road winds back and forth in oxbows not unlike the nearby Little Missouri, or "Little Mo," river. It's also one of the only two paved roads in Theodore Roosevelt National Park; the other is Scenic Loop Drive, which you can access from East River Road.

Be on the lookout for wildlife, including bison. The National Park Service warns that cyclists should stay at least 25 yards away from bison, horses and other wildlife — for your safety.
