High clearance vehicles!

The stream is great with lots of trout to fish. Nice campsite, usually taken on weekends so arrive early(free campground). The road is pretty rough so a high clearance vehicle is pretty rough. 

Warning you do have to be in at an actual site do not just pull off here. Rangers do patrol!
