The bridge has guard rails today but still very narrow - we did stop and walk across the bridge to enjoy the view down. My understanding is the road is much improved since 37 years ago but still challenging and a lot of fun. We found several rough spots that were not marked well. McCarthy, Kennecutt and the glacier all make the side trip worthwhile. We pulled a 30 ft trailer in but not sure I would pull the Monty in. When you get there you wind up boondocking next to the river at the base of the glacier - wonderful. Top off with water before going in there were really no services at the camping area. Decent places to eat once you got into town.
