They look intimidating, but the switchbacks climbing to Josephine saddle are a very pleasant grade. South-facing, though, so exposed to the sun unless you climb it in a cloud.

Trail is too eroded to ride, had to carry the bike here.
Looking back, half-way up the switchbacks on Josephine Saddle Fire road.
