Directions:
From the intersection of Hwy H and Hwy 215, in the town of Pleasant Hope,
continue on Hwy 215 for 1.6 miles to Road 182. Turn left. Follow the road
which will go to the right and turn into Road 550. Follow until you come to the
first turn to the left, which is Road 180. Follow to the trailhead on the left.
With all the turns and different road numbers, it sounds like you go a long way,
but actually, this trailhead is only 0.9 of a mile from Hwy 215. This is the best
trailhead for trailers. There is another smaller lot 0.4 of a mile further at the corner.
