Usually a wet bog here:

Pass through this oasis for a few hundred feet before climbing over a rocky hill to the mission valley. In the past, this part of the road was under water!

Nearing the mission is more steep, rough road.
Going down all these grades is tough, but the real challenge is climbing back up them all when you want to leave!
