We stopped by the ranger station for a NPS stamp. Ranger Sarah was amazing!! She answered all my questions about the area, made me feel welcomed to the area, and gave me advice and recommendations...

Very familiar with this area. Highly recommend you purchase a Forest map at the USDA Ranger Station before any exploration. The forest is outstanding and very worthy of a trip for a day, or a month...

We stopped in and inquired about how to use our 23 foot RV trailer in the forest lands. They were very helpful and nice to boot.
