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 advisedThe last 50 miles of travel to the cabin from Pierce are mostly single lane, gravel surfaced roadways that may be peppered with large potholes and rocks, the last 4 miles being rutted 2 track road requiring 4X4 high clearance vehicles operated by experienced operators and 5 miles of multi-use, moderate difficulty trail.quoted from the driving directions
Steep grades or switchbacksFSR 581 is a steep narrow single lane road with limited pullouts and its native soil surface can be slick and rutted.quoted from the driving directions
