Dead Horse is a grind uphill all the way but an awesome downhill plunge once you enjoy the views!!!
Sure riding is definitely the preferred alternative but I personally am not yet in shape for that type of distance and climbing. But for anyone who is - definitely ride. Me, I still use the trust car and then bike when I get to the flater areas. We all do what we can.
