Why
U.S. Forest Service opens most of its land to dispersed camping unless a local order restricts it. Check the unit's current orders before you commit.9.5 of the 13.4 miles in are maintained only for high-clearance vehicles, dirt the whole way. Climbs 3,200 ft over 13.4 miles through 7 switchbacks, with sustained grades near 18% and pitches to 35%. Stretches run along a shelf with a drop of up to ~160 ft on the downhill side. Few of the stretches measured have level ground to pull onto. Dead-end road with no mapped turnaround, so expect to back out or unhitch.
Big Hoodoo Mountain stands 1,901 ft above the site, 1.2 miles northeast. Leigh Creek runs 0.6 mi off.
