Beautiful and Friendly Locals
This place is not only beautiful from the canyon to the deer prancing through the campsite at night. The local hangout is Hookers run by and awesome family who we became friends with. We stayed two separate times on our last trip and we will definitely be back. The camping spot it beautiful also!
