There were some primitive campsites at
the Vista Point, but you should avoid
camping at trailheads and parking areas.
Campground was closed for repairs. There
are several other established campgrounds
that charge fees.
We haven't seen any, but there is a sign
warning hunters to know what they are
shooting.
If a moose charges at you, stand behind
a tree and wave your arms. The moose
will charge straight into the tree and you
have a nice meal...
