Getting there
What the agency says about the road in. For a long rig this is often the binding constraint — a site that fits is no use behind four miles of shelf road — and none of it appears in the campsite data.
- Narrow or single-lane road
Turn right on Riverside and follow a curvy and narrow paved road to the intersection of the Girard Ridge Road (Forest Service Road Number 38N23).
quoted from the driving directions - Unpaved approach
From here, the lookout is approximately 7.5 miles over mostly dirt road.
