A backcountry permit (reservation required) is needed; no fees beyond the permit. The site features pit toilets and a nearby creek for water (must treat). No fire rings, grills, picnic tables, RV access, or hookups—campfires are prohibited. Set in high alpine terrain with sweeping mountain views, wildflowers, and rugged ridgelines, it's a serene, remote experience. Nearby trails include the Highline and Swiftcurrent Pass Trails. Best visited July–September when snow has melted and trails are accessible. Ideal for backpackers seeking solitude and epic scenery.

Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
