Great Divide Sect. 1+2 Road Conditions

[jan404]

Hi,

after recieving a map which includes traffic information in MT and realizing that it significantly more than expected. It states for almost all raods at least 2000cars/day i guess that will be 200/h = 3/min, thats fine for some sections but a bit to much if you have it most of the time. This I am thinking of evading traffic by going on parts of the GD. Especially on section 1 what kind of road conditions do I have to expect? Is it a trail or a dirt road? I have a sturdy touring bike with 1 3/4" tires so dirts road are fine with me but a cross country trail might be to much...

Any recommendations?
