Visiting

Who to ask, how long people usually stay, what to bring, directions from the highway, and the rules.

EDIT ME — how a visit works: who to ask, how long people usually stay, what to bring, whether there is cell service.

Getting here

EDIT ME — plain-language directions from the highway, gate combination policy, what to do if the road is bad.

Note
Text is best; service is spotty.
Bring
  • Layers — it is cold at night even in July
  • Boots you do not mind ruining
  • Headlamp
  • Your own coffee if you are particular
  • Groceries — nearest store is EDIT ME minutes away
The rules
  • Close every gate you open.
  • No fires when it is windy. Ever.
  • Dogs on a leash near the animals.
  • If you break it, tell us — we will not be mad, we just need to know.
