Broad Horizons

This dispersed spot was a nice one-night stopover. It’s pretty close to the main road (26) on a pretty good gravel road. The site can accommodate a pretty big rig or trailer, although there’s really only one fairly level area, or just a car and a few tents. It’s got a 360-degree view of the surrounding hills. Drawbacks are that it’s got limited hiking and biking options.
