Easy stop if you need, otherwise keep driving

Drove in..., drove out. As another review noted, it's a big parking lot. Fine if you just need a place to pull over, nothing of value there..., maybe proximity to a hiking trail. UPDATE: i've been through this area more often. I now see this a more decent place for the fact that the persistent breeze and the altitude make it a cooler location than down in the valley, plus this site has even less light pollution, so if you want to see stars, this is a pretty cool spot for it.

Sitenone...
