Fantastic!

Warning - this site requires a high clearance vehicle with good off road tires. Low profile tires and trucks modified for street use, you WILL destroy your vehicle. We saw a truck that ripped their entire exhaust system out from the rocks, and bent their $$$ rims. You've been warned.

Drove down from Seattle and met with my friends down in Sacramento and drove in. The drive scenery was beautiful. You get to drive through some little cute towns. Once you get to the main camp area, you'll get to the 4x4 route. I highly recommend you air down, it will make things much easier and comfortable. The camp area is first come first serve, so pack your patience. You may have to camp off the beaten path. We ended up finding a nice clearing by Little Gold Lake. It was nice I that it was away from water so there were less mosquitos. The view of the lake was beautiful! I would definitely come back! Btw, pack a portable toilet. You'll need it!
