Elevation7700 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground's ridge position creates dramatic views into two deep canyons and across forested hillsides. Tall ponderosa pines dominate, mixed with firs and oaks. The elevation and topography generate interesting wind patterns and acoustic effects, especially noticeable at sunrise and sunset. The ridge's exposure means you'll feel weather changes before campers in more sheltered spots.
