There is a small water crossing just after you turn off for the imogene cutoff:

Looking back down at camp bird mine from the ridge road:

The ridge road follows this "shelf" above camp bird mine, you used to be able to drive through camp bird mine which was a whole lot quicker, now you have to detour, go through the ledge/overhang, then hit the cutoff and follow the ridge road.

this is the ridge road and you can see it follows pretty close to the edge:
