place is beautiful- regret going

there is no warning on how these roads are!! please do not bring any trailers or rvs out here as they will not fit/ fall off of the windy roads. roads are super rocky and full of deep holes, not many options to turn around once you've started. the whole night i was anxious about how i was going to get out. Only recomendad for 4x4/ tall vehicles.

Temple canyon view camp site

Enjoyed the beautiful views and the ability to get offline and out in serenity’s. Only down fall staying at the temple view camp site is that there is a jeep tour that comes by a few time in the am and afternoon. So you feel like your on exhibit but they go by fast. Not much shade, and there isn’t a real access to the trails. Had to hike over to temple ridge about a mile away to find two beautiful intermittent trails. Would definitely stay at ridge when we go back. Oh and for sure need 4x4 drive or not a low car. Roads are windy but the view after are amazing.

Catch some Brookies!!!!

It’s a small stream but it’s sure as hells got some trout in it! I’ve been fishing this stream since I was a kid, and I still have a good time there. It’s got some decent little camp spots too.
