Great views!

Great views! We camped just south of the pin but there are several spots to pull over with fire rings along 123 rd. There wasn’t much shade but we set up a tarp and it was fine. Bring lots of water and sunscreen but worth it! If you keep driving there are some better spots. Definitely recommend high clearance 4x4 for the further spots
