About

The dirt Forest Service road from Hobble Creek Canyon to the car park at Camel's traverses six miles of washboarded rocky trail and requires 4WD at all times. During winter the road will be impassable to all vehicles except snowmobiles and ATV's. Upon reaching the car park, leave your vehicle and hike the remaining 300 yards uphill to the launch site at the small peak overlooking the valley. Do not attempt to drive past the barriers at the car park!
