Forest Road 2204-190 branches off from the main 2204 and climbs steadily into the hills of the southern Olympic National Forest. The drive begins easily enough, with sections of gravel and dirt, through a section called Hope Meadow, which is particularly scenic in autumn, with vivid fall foliage standing out in a clear alpine meadow. It then resumes its winding path through denser forest sections.

It becomes progressively rougher as you ascend, and there’s little to no maintenance here, so drivers should expect rocks and downed trees, washouts, and uneven terrain. The road is currently blocked by a landslide just before Burlap Pass, located at approximately coordinates 47.46433, -123.64856. The road narrows considerably as you progress toward the landslide, with few turnouts for passing or turning around.

There are a couple of pullouts wide enough for camping as you ascend, though no official campgrounds
