With short and long-distance Cherry Creek Drainage/Billy Lawrence Canyon and Sunrise/Sunset views to take your breath away, this remote oak and pine tree-shaded one vehicle-one tent campsite is located just above the Billy Lawrence TH at a cool 6774ft elevation. This campsite is only a 0.20-mile walk to the Billy Lawrence TH (at FR235 road end), an ~1.8 mile drive down FR235 to the Cienega Spring TH, and also conveniently located for driving access to the popular Reynolds Creek TH (located at FR410 road end).
