I'm the OP and we took that trip after asking here, in 2018. We thought it was an amazing, beautiful area. We camped at Boulder Creek CG on the north end. We came in through Wisdom and went out the same way, but drove the entire length of the byway. At one time the southern end was gravel, but it is now paved. There is a hair pin turn and climb at the southern end, but nothing too drastic, at least in our opinion. We felt that this was comparable to Yellowstone, but no crowds in September when we went. We were alone in the CG we stayed in. It was great! After leaving there we went to Lewis and Clark Caverns then returned and went to Bannack State Park - well worth it and we liked it much better than L&C Caverns State Park. This area is well worth the trip.
