Ridge Access Forest Road Dispersed Camping Area (Unmarked Entry)

The Setup: A dispersed camping area accessed via an easily missed forest road that climbs into open national grassland terrain. Once on the ridge, there are multiple flat areas and informal sites with scattered fire rings.

Amenities:

Scattered fire rings
Direct access to surrounding trail network

The Highlights: Open ridge-top camping with wide views and easy access to nearby trails. Multiple potential pull-off spots give flexibility in choosing a campsite. Conditions feel more exposed and alpine/grassland compared to lower forest areas.

Connectivity:

Verizon: variable service (ranges from strong 5G to weak LTE depending on position)

Access Notes: The entry road is unmarked and can be easy to miss. Generally passable in a 2WD vehicle if driven carefully, though higher clearance is helpful. Towing is uncertain and likely depends on specific rigs and conditions. Wind exposure can be significant on the ridge—fire use should be handled with caution.
