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.
- Rigs not recommended on this road
Guests can drive to the lookout in vehicles with good ground clearance, but trailers are not recommended due to some rough spots on the road.
quoted from the description - Narrow or single-lane road
This is a single lane, dirt surface road that is rarely graded and slippery when wet.
