About This Trail

Imported description

This is a single lane gravel road that you can use to get to the campgrounds and the hiking trails. It is mostly used by drivers. You can snowshoe up the main park road when the trailhead closes. There are soft shoulders so don't drive too close to them. Pull-outs along the way make it easy for people to go different directions. It's safer to drive on this route when it hasn't rained recently.
