A Sanctuary for All Beings
This land is a vibrant tapestry of life, where the diversity of nature is on full display. As you explore, you may find yourself sharing the silence with:
Majestic Wildlife: Moose, elk, and mule deer frequent the canyon, while the boundaries protect vital wintering grounds for creatures seeking refuge.
A Fisherman’s Peace: The river offers high-quality fishing for rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout—a perfect way to reset the mind through quiet patience.
Reaching Your Escape
To find this "wooded oasis," travel approximately 3.3 miles down County Road 92. The road leads you past the initial camping sanctuary to a final parking grove 1.5 miles further, where the true wilderness begins. We invite you to leave the daily chaos behind, breathe in the mountain air, and discover the tranquility that comes from walking in harmony with the Earth.
