Amazing site, minus the train
This site is awesome. The scenery is beautiful and it is super easy to access. You can hear coyotes howling at night.
The only problem is the train. It woke us up at least 4 times last night. You can see the train from your campsite.
Everything else was perfect for us though!
Stay at TrailHead
Beautiful place! Unfortunately no space for us to drive our bus to a camp spot but plenty of room in parking lot. Just a nice little spot to stop before hitting the road again.
Amazing camp site
There are several camp areas, fire pits and picnic tables at the beginning of the trail with a big gravel parking lot
