Short hike and large camping area

This was our first experience with hike-in backcountry camping, and some of us struggled with the short hike to this spot but it was well worth it. The trailhead and parking area is a little difficult to find, but there are bathrooms and an information area right beside it. We made the reservation a few months before and most sites were already booked. The hike had wonderful views and so did our campsite, which was very large and could’ve fit many more than the 3 tents we had with us. A food locker was available and we did fine without a propane fire set-up, eating our food cold. We brought plenty of water to be sure we’d have enough.
