In response to the pavement ending, yes for about 5 to 10 miles max. Anymore 126 is paved from Cuba to just short of moon canyon, and yes a car can make the unpaved section rather easy. It is about a 50 mile ish trek from la cueva to Cuba but a well worth it drive. The red marks are the dirt section.

This is an abandoned campground with locked gates, which are easy to hop over if you'd like to visit a rather interesting piece of the past. The old concrete tables are still present and there is a small dam that is no longer functional. I do not know when the campground was closed; I wonder if it has to do with elk conservation.

Warning: if you think you’ll explore east to Cuba. Don’t. Pavement ends just past the hatchery.
