First the pluses ~ breathtaking Views, wildlife viewing (moose, deer, elk, whooping cranes, etc), bring your binoculars! large spots to spread out and camp. The spot I’m in has zero shade, but it’s been raining/sleeting/snowing most days, and cool the rest, so it wasn’t an issue in late May.

The down side is the traffic! It’s quiet by 10pm, but it’s hard to believe how many vehicles go whizzing by on this forest road. Yesterday for 2 solid hours in the evening it was non stop cars ~ and they drive so fast, tons of dust. And this is a regular occurrence. I’ve been here 7 days so far.

The other down side is zero cell service here. You will have to drive into Jackson to get service, which is fine as they have all the amenities you’d need, laundry, shower, fuel, groceries, firewood.

I would definitely come back here next time I’m in the area! Probably pick a more private spot with shade next time tho!
