- 9,205 ft
At 9,205 ft, expect nights below freezing well into June, water systems shut off outside a short summer window, and a long climb to get here. Nothing published says when it opens — call before you tow.

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 switchbacks
At the junction of Trail 467 to Yellow Mule Cabin, take a right (north) and switchback down about 1/3 mile to the cabin.
