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.
- High clearance or 4WD advised
The Burma Grade is another popular route to explore on foot, bike, or high-clearance automobile.
