2/18/2023 Posted By: gmarcotte Info: For restrooms, there are a few porta-potties by the parking areas.
1/27/2023 Posted By: Kiefer Info: Road is clear to the fish hatchery. Parking area is snow packed and accessable. Lots of use. Good trench in to the CT junction (via Highline Trail). Turned around due to weather.		3
