As snow parks go, this isn't the best one we've seen, but it's really really easy access for big rigs if you just need to pull over to sleep. The parking area is literally just a big flat pullout off the road, with no barriers of any kind between you and the road. 

  

But the camp area is nice if you're going to use a tent. There are 2 pit toilets, there's a little warming cabin and a big fireplace, and 2 small trash bins. 

  

Permits are required between Nov 1 to April 30, and fees are $25/year, $9 for 3 days, or $4 for one day. No cell service in this area.
