Arrived at the trailhead at 8:30 to about 5 cars, some appeared to be from backpackers.  The road in, once you hit the gravel section, is as bad as I have ever seen it.  It’s passable with care but ta...

Planned on going to 5-Mile camp and back, but told by WTA working party members that the blue pond was worth going past the camp. After reading that the national park boundary was about mile 7, and th...

Arrived to only 2 cars in the parking lot at 10 am on a Wednesday. Pit toilet was locked. Road has some really deep potholes but a sedan could make it if comfortable using the entire width of the road...
