Tips:
- This is a great place to take visiting family and friends because it’s not too difficult, and you have a lot of options if you want to explore the park
- Bring a Lunch – Getting this far into the park, even just driving, is quite a trip from the outside world. We suggest packing a lunch so that you can stay longer. And food just tastes better outside anyway.
