The difficult part of the drive to Shelter Cove is the final 24 miles. Briceland/Shelter Cove Road
is a narrow 2 lane highway that twists and turns like a roller coaster as it ascends/descends though the forest. Take your time. Drive slowly. Enjoy the scenery. There are plenty of pullouts to allow traffic to pass you.
