    Just stayed for a couple nights and it was great. This is close to the start of the trail we took take the eagle lakes exit off highway 80. Can complete in stock truck, rock sliders recommended though we did come down on ours a couple of times. Fordyce Creek Trail is very close and this is a difficult trail. I have heard of people in stock Tacomas doing it but I wasn't brave enough to try. Fishing wasn't great, we saw a family of river otters and they looked well fed.

    Thank you! It was great. I did have jeep envy when I saw a 2 door rubicon with 37's make it look easy, but it quickly passed.
