Quiet area

While the roads might be a bit rough in places, the hiking experience is top-notch. The variety of trails caters to all skill levels, and the ice caves add a unique touch. The lookout point's view is absolutely worth the trek.

The seclusion of the area guarantees a solitary hike, and the free camp field is a bonus. While there are no hookups, the outhouse and nearby swimming spots make up for it. Perfect for a rugged getaway.
