The notably dry mountain air and predominantly clear skies during peak season make for spectacular stargazing and comfortable hiking conditions.

The campground's location provides easy access to crystalline mountain lakes and babbling streams that have drawn anglers for generations. Miles of scenic trails wind through the surrounding forest, revealing hidden meadows, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic vistas that reward hikers with unforgettable mountain scenery.
