Towed over Dead Indian with horse trailers hundreds of times. If you haven't driven a large vehicle then coming down the western side of Dead Indian you do need to be aware there are a few switch backs but if you take it slow, let your engine do the work you'll be OK. When you brake come down hard to slow quickly below the desired speed then let your engine do the work. Do not ride your brakes. Beautiful country. The tourists camp in Yellowstone. The locals camp in the NF. If you drive out and dry camp at Sunshine basin you would know why we love WY. Many of those camp sites are hard side only camping. No tents. We go over Dead Indian in the winter to cut out Christmas tree.
