Easy access big rig friendly

This is just the lower section! Pull in off thr highway you will see a large gravel loop to your left. With bathrooms. This is the big rig area. There are also a few dispersed spots down in this lower area. NO cell phone signal at all. This area is not scenic like the upper section but is for fast easy access. The road up is 2wd safe so if you want to go higher you can. This area is just a basic parking lot with a bathroom
