Directions
Follow Bowen Ranch Rd for 6.2 miles. Keep right at the 3-way split at mile 5.7 .The entrance gate has 2 very tall telephone poles with a large Bowen Ranch sign hanging, drive in 1/4 mile to a large green tent to check-in. If you see an old shack cabin with a small hot springs sign, you are at the WRONG place and need to immediately turn around and get back on Bowen Ranch RD. WARNING! Do NOT even talk to the guy at the shack or he will give you wrong directions on purpose and detain you with a 20 minute long crazy rant.
