Went down to Granite and took Lost Canyon Road (FR 398) straight west. I wanted to check out the possibilities for fall foliage. Tons of aspen, but about two weeks to early. We took the road all the way almost to the top of the mountain. I would recommend it to anybody wanting a fall foliage tour. Couple of cautions, it's said to be a 4-wheel drive only road, and all the vehicles we met (more than you would expect) were jeeps and ATV's. However I was in the Chevy pick-up and never put it in 4WD once. It is a narrow road. You will not want to be on this if it is raining or has recently rained. Also, you will be getting in the 11,000-12,000ft. range, which is a sure-fire way to find out if you have any unknown pre-existing heart conditions, so please take it slow if you get out walking around. I've also heard there were rumors of gold in that area along Cache Creek at one time.
