Bit trashy

Totally serviceable for a quick camping spot. You will need high clearance to get up 462. There’s a ranger station on the way in for info that closes at 4:30.

You’ll pass the Coyote trailhead where the toilets are. The road veers right and starts getting hairy.

You’ll have to park along some boulders blocking the path up to the site. There’s a nice fire ring in a circle of trees that do a solid job of blocking the wind.

Fair amount of trash at nearby areas. Definitely where teenagers go to drink. We heard coyotes howling here and there too.

Leave no trace!
