Latest Check-Ins
the lower lot under the power lines was occupied by several other RVs and the gate was open so we continued on up the hill to the trailhead landing period medium gravel lot well-maintained road no fire rings. four-wheel drive if available (not necessary) helps reduce the building of washboard climbs on steep hills like this.
Report Check-InBlack bear sighted about 100 yards away on our ride in, so we kept the dog inside and the firearms loaded. Definitely a steep climb up the mountain, but we did play in two-wheel drive during dry weather. Two bars Verizon, no traffic.
Report Check-InSuper quiet place 1 bar on ATT definitely need all wheel drive or 4wheel drive to get up here
