Difficulty
Easy. Route has small ledges and one steep, chewed-up hill (likely caused by two-wheel-drive vehicles spinning tires during climbs). Fourwheel drive and higher ground clearance is recommended. Road is very narrow in spots and backing may be necessary to get around oncoming vehicles.
History
Reservoir Expansion: At the time of this writing, a project was underway to raise the dam 131 ft., which would nearly triple capacity of reservoir. Our map shows the approximate location of the new shoreline. The road ends at a new parking lot at Waypoint 03. Access to campsites around the parking area is by hiking and horseback only.
