Quiet and no one up here

This place is gorgeous, we only made it just past the coordinates and parked on top of that hill. Thought we could get in farther but a quick walk showed us that it’s little too washed out and steep for our pickup camper. Super nice area, lots of walking trails you can do. Amazing views of the mountains and this spot is perfect to watch the sun set in the west.

Sitejust past the the bear container food storage sign.

There’s plenty of space, but even at this time it gets crowded during the weekends. Lots of off roading around too.

Great Spot - Lots of Options

You definitely need to know where you’re going with this one, as the location on here isn’t really even close. The trail getting in/out is fairly rough and uneven, so you’ll need something with some sort of clearance. The sites themselves were pretty fantastic, clean, and accessible. There are more rewarding and harder to reach spots the farther you go, but plenty are easily available. You’ll find lots of fine folks walking, riding quads/bikes, etc. It’s not often you find a spot like this that isn’t crowded out.
