Sites are kind of close. But the views are amazing. The night sky was full of stars, more than I've ever been able to see.

There are signs everywhere saying no dogs allowed. Not even on a leash. This park is dead to me. It seems ridiculous to not allow dogs at all in this giant remote park.

Peaceful park with a creek, small lake, ducks, workout equipment, great views of mountains, and sport fields.

Very cute little park for a picnic

Beautiful in mid October with the aspen leaves changing colors.

We had no business at the locked gate, other than to satisfy the urge to see the end of the road. A night of free camping would have been even better. No regrets.The Whi ... more
