Go if

Horse packers and hikers staging a multi-day push into the backcountry via Ten Mile Creek Trail #415 will find the hitching rail, loading ramp, and creek access exactly what they need, all at no cost.

Skip if

No potable water on-site means you're hauling everything in, and with only two sites on a first-come basis, arriving on a summer weekend with no backup plan is a real gamble.
