Beautiful area but lots of trash

There are many campsites along NF 70. The campsite we stayed at had a fire ring and was only a short walk from the river. Plenty of spots to pitch a tent. This is a beautiful area but people leave so much trash behind. This is a pack in pack out area so be prepared to take your trash home.
