Awesome and beautiful place! You'll want to put this on your bucket list. Take time to stop by and dip your feet in the streams that run alongside the roads leading up the mountain. You won't regret it.

Breathtaking views throughout, so many places to pull over and take it all in, my daughter loved exploring in the rocks/creek, and we had the opportunity to see elk up close. Amazing!!!

While the views may not be as spectacular as Yosemite or Yellowstone, this is still a beautiful park with great hiking and forever views. The many original settler cabins provide a window into the past. We saw deer, turkeys, elk, and bear. And while we encountered crowds at the most popular attractions when we visited in early June, it was easy to find great trails where we were the only hikers. Definitely worth the trip.

WOW!!! What an amazing adventure. This park is absolutely gorgeous. The rivers and streams are just stunning, and there seems to be something exciting around every corner. There is a lot of history within the park as well. Do yourself a favor and stop off at the many attractions to really see what it was like back in the day. The wildlife and numerous trails are all worth the trip.
