Fantastic place on a truly beautiful day; I went there for photos and to check out the drive and had little trouble with either-- directions via Middlemarsh Road got me there with no issues. The small spring below the rock shelters was running; saw quite a few other hikers out there today, mostly couples or families with kids (a few campers in tents, too.) The 16.7-mile drive in has a LOT of turnoffs into good camping areas as private as you could possibly wish-- I plan on going back in Spring to camp for a couple of days. One warning: I spoke to a couple of locals about wildlife, and the area is getting known for its big cat population. They've seen a few and actually photographed a 'black panther' about ten years back (most likely a melanistic jaguar, as jaguar sightings are starting to pile up now.) The rocks are just right for mountain lions, and I had the uncomfortable feeling of eyes on me now and then; just be wary.
