Oh, I thought I had posted
the link, but I only had the link to the map pic. Sorry.
And about it being legal? Well, no. Soda Springs Road ends at an impassable gate beyond which is private, and if you managed to get by through the open gate (as I did once), the locals were hostile. It really is a shame, as the climb over Soda Springs and and Mt. Umunhum Road makes Monitor Pass look like positively tame.
