Road was open 7/24/21. Nice views. Weekend and only one other camper. It rained every day, even a hail storm. Used a high cleaning two wheel drive van.

Report Check-In

The road here is closed right after you enter public land and turn left as of March 3, 2021. There is a gate blocking entrance as well as a road closed sign.

Yes yes yes! What a spot! stayed at a pull off before reaching the spots with fire rings because of snow. Quite and the view was spectacular.

Beautiful drive and incredible views - I bet this place gets busy in the summer. We had Thanksgiving all to ourselves up here, and had an incredible time. Great AT&T & Verizon service, drive up in our 24’ Class C no problems. The wind up here is no joke, and it got cold at night. Loved our visit here!

Report Check-In

Spent two chilly nights here. While the mountains are stunning it's hard to find a camp spot without trees blocking the view. Several spots have actual fire pits and picnic tables. Pit toilet currently closed due to Covid-19. It can get very windy up here so not sure how comfortable tent camping would be. I also don't think you can get all the way to the pin w/o 4WD. No cell service on ATT. Best price around... Free.
