Beautiful place to stop and stretch your legs. With views of the mountains and some sinage with important information it is a worthwhile stop. There were ample places for vehicles on the day we stopped. A little tricky navigating to the sign with the amount of snow on the ground. Would not recommend for little kids or those with mobility issues. I do not know what it's like when there is no snow.
