That is of course a great point, glc. As we have collectively discussed a great deal herein, there is a wide variety of terminology among rental car contracts. Some say "no unpaved roads" while others say "no trails or non-public roads". Given what must be ten of thousands of miles of state, county, Forest Service, and BLM roads in the Western states alone, one would hope a major company's rental contract would not preclude use on the very same roads used by residents, mail carriers, school buses, and law enforcement. In this case, both the MT and ID side of Lemhi Pass are a combination of state or county roads down low with Forest Service and BLM roads higher up. The several miles of gravel road from Bannack to MT 324 is a county road. & would be wise to confirm her contract allows publicly-maintained unpaved roads before assuming anything.

Good catch, glc.
