Not what we thought it would be

There are grounds across from the trailhead. They’re very average it’s just a big dirt spot. Also the location is off on here you need to driver further. We did this in July and we didn’t have time to hike the trail so maybe the trail makes it better. For us very average.

Gravel pit north of this trailhead

There are a number of trail heads in the area. Any large gravel area is available for camping. Please rent that large rigs use these areas so please park in a space that allows them to pull around.

Lots of hiking near by but there are no picnic tables or restrooms.
