Iron Mountain Road - Route 16A in Custer State Park SD

On an upcoming trip we will pass by this area and would like to drive through. I've driven through there (WB) 30 years ago (and in a Tradesman van) but this would be EB in a Coachmen Santara 302SA...

So, thank you all for your responses.

We did it, it was no problem. Plenty of clearance. (For us. YMMV.)

I think some of those responding were confusing the Iron Mountain Road (16A) with Needles Highway (87.) But cautions are valuable.

We actually had more problem driving through Badlands later that day, with people stopping their cars on the road IN A CURVE to get out and take a picture. Not one person. Multiple people. Made the drivers on Iron Mountain Road look almost smart.
