Location

Beulah Road is the access, a tenth-mile or so of walking from it. The spot sits below three thousand feet in dry basin country. Two feet or so of snow falls each winter, and rain is scant. No unit of public land is listed.

Go in winter, per the record. Chukar Park, the campground on record, is four and a half miles away. Water chemistry dates to a 1992 sample and came back alkaline, the same reading as its neighbor. No access status is on file, so look for posting along Beulah Road.
