TravelerLots of campsites but fill up fast
Load of campsites, you can access Forsythe Canyon Trailhead in any car but you will need a high clearance vehicle to get any further. Loads of spots to camp, some better than others but they do seem to fill up quick. If you park at the trailhead like we had too (rental car) then the hike all the way down is only 1hr or so maybe less
TravelerKnow before you go
Awesome place. Most definitely need 4WD and clearance
