That’s actually a Forest Service road and is the Wallowa Mountain Loop road. Typically in the West FS roads aren’t paved but this one is. Hooked up with it coming from Baker City, OR a couple years ago to ride up to Joseph. Nice road and as I recall mostly 45-50 MPH. Since you’re just doing McCall to Joseph you’ll have plenty of time to check out the area.

We rode it in 2017 based out of Wallowa Lake. The stretch from the Halfway side is good curvy road, lots of fun. From Hells Canyon Overlook down towards Joseph it's narrower and windier with a few potholes, but all paved and pretty fun riding. We were warned to watch out for log trucks, always a good idea in the mountains.

There is a Tram ride at Wallowa Lake that is the bomb. Ride the tram to the top of the mountain and have breakfast with a view to remember. Biscuits & Gravy were pretty good. Like others have posted, you’ll love that stretch or road. It is paved but you can dam near rub your shoulders on the limbs in th corners. Have fun
