As much as I was tempted to explore, I knew that I had a busy day of driving ahead. As well, I was alone and there's no cell service out here so if something happened, it might be a while for help to come through. So I took some pictures at the entrance and then a few more from the road and moved on. There's a very helpful spring at the entrance. The water tasted crystal clear. read more
