Wooded back country site in the beutiful Slough Creek Valley

Back country site 2S2 sits on the southern edge of the Slough creek valley just south of the main trail.  A brief hike along the access trail gets you to the site.  This site sits in a group of trees which makes for a nice location out of the sun and with some wind protection, but the trade off is limited views of the valley, and the view of the valley are the best part about hiking this part of the park.  Site has an excellent water source right next to the tent and cooking areas.  The site has several good flat locations for your tents.  While the cook/food area has a bear pole for hanging your food you will not need to use it as the camp has a bear locker for food/gear storage.  The bear locker also gives you a great flat cooking area that doesn't require bending over your campstove.  Fires are allowed when not restricted.  Site is limited to 6 people for a max stay of 3 nights.  Don't be surprised to find bison very near your camp as they rang through the valley.
