Skyline Drive runs the ridge for the length of the park at around 2,800 ft, with the Palouse falling away on both sides. Almost no technical driving — this is the one you bring somebody on for their first overland trip, or run when you want the views without the risk. Dispersed camping along the ridge. Gets greasy after rain, and it is a long way down if you slide.
Watch the run
