Description

The entrance road is wide enough and smooth enough for two passenger cars. It's not the most interesting ride, but it leads to more trails back in the preserve and there is a good chance you'll see elk in the valley from this road during the summer.

If you happen to find yourself alone on the road in the enormous grassland valley, it will make you feel real small.
