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.

Steep grades or switchbacksThe last mile of dirt/gravel road is one lane with pull over's and contains two sharp switchbacks.quoted from the driving directions
