Small turnoff right on the road

We didn't end up staying here because the fire pit was small, maybe six rocks. It's right on a ledge and you're barely off the road.

Not really enough space to feel comfortable with traffic coming through the monument.

No trailers allowed

There is a sign at the beginning of the dirt road prohibiting trailers. I assume because if it rains the mud roads become unusable.

Amazing spot!!!

Two of my friends and I stayed at this spot one night and I wish we had more time to spend at this spot because of the location, beauty, and remote feeling. Having a fire pit was great along with star gazing!
