Perfect overnight spot when traveling across I-70

An earlier review was spot on—a no-fee peaceful spot that is only about six miles from I-70 but feels deep into the wilderness. We camped at the trailhead at the end of the main road and were the only ones there on the Fourth of July. No potty at the trailhead but there is a portapotty and about six campsites earlier on the road, then a couple pullout spots further on. To reach our spot we descended down a pretty steep gravel road, but it felt pretty magical when we arrived. Sparkling with fireflies, lots of night creatures singing their songs and the air thick with the perfume of a night blooming shrub.
