This section, closer to Volcano than the town of Sutter Creek, is narrower and has older, rougher pavement - some sections are rough; use good sense and avoid trouble here.

Slight elevation changes, clean pavement, and gentle curves make this a pleasant scenic ride in most places.

And here's one reason to be cool - on weekends (these photos were shot on a Sunday) there are sure to be a few bicyclists on the road... so take it easy, enjoy the scenery, and the road.

Here's a shot of one of the nice, cleanly paved curves on Sutter Creek Road.  

Another scenic spot with a view of Sutter Creek. Nice, cool, shady spot and the sound of running water is very soothing.

Beautiful sights - the water was flowing this spring day, after a strong winter snowpack had begun melting.  Not many places to pull over and see the sights, but you can find a few good spots, even if it means you have to turn around and go back.
