Black Ridge Area Parking Pullout (Van Overnight Spot)

The Setup: Uneven parking area near the base of Black Ridge, used as an alternative overnight stop when higher routes toward a radio tower and Black Ridge Road become unsuitable for non-4x4 vehicles. Functions as a simple roadside overnight parking option.

Amenities: None.

The Highlights: Practical emergency-style overnight stops when deeper dispersed sites are inaccessible. Convenient for short stays with minimal setup, especially when avoiding private road sections or muddy 4x4 tracks. No signage prohibiting overnight parking was noted.

Connectivity: Not specified.
