Kristopher WeissFebruary 28, 2016Gorgeous views and well worth an out-of-the-way drive to see. But the Buffalo Overlook and poorly marked and had neither buffalo nor an overlook that we could find, even after asking for assistance.
Robin KanouseApril 30, 2013An unbeleivably steep mountain on a narrow 2 lane road....incredible views. So exciting it takes your breath away.
Stacy Bo BacySeptember 20, 2018Across the street from the nature center is the best view of the mountains!
Megan JonesJuly 24, 2013Great place for watching meteor showers with our Boo <3 (Ashlin) or great photo spot on a full moon!
Mike LeeMay 18, 20105 miles pillars to post, a little more challenging starting from home. Great climb for focusing on cadence- take advantage of the first switchbacks to up your pedal speed- then hold it.
Lloyd M.September 11, 2012Like 2 go spend time up there, that's the closes you'll get 2 heave and the love one the have passed.
I live on this mnt and have never seen a bighorn sheep. Lots of elk, but I don't know where that tip came from.
