Description

From Deer Flat, the road crosses Deer Flat Creek followed by a short climb to Murchio Gap. After the junction with Prospector's Gap Road, it's a downhill run, steep at times, to the junction with Donner Canyon Road. There are nice views all the way down, but keep an eye open for loose, rutty sections.
