Natural Features and SceneryThe campground rests in one of the few major North American ranges that runs east to west rather than north to south. Exposed Precambrian rock formations, over 60 million years old, surround the area. Glacial carving created the U-shaped valleys, cirques, and moraines visible throughout the northern slopes. Thin forest cover at this elevation provides some shade but limited screening between sites.

Lodging & AccommodationsOnly camping accommodations are available. No hotel-style lodging is provided.

Programs & ActivitiesThere is no information about cultural or educational programs.
