Description: Nice place during the day and even better at night. Easy to find great parking. There are bathrooms with lights, but it's really a nice dark place to meet with tables and such. Can park farthest back and be able to see and know if someone pulls in. Better times are at night after 10.
UPDATE 8/10/2020: I can confirm that although the sign does state that the area closes at 8pm, the gate remains open all night. I was here from 2am - 5am. . No rangers came through, although neither did anybody else.
