Lots of parking. No fees area. Lots of camping locations along the Siouxon trail/creek. And this would be a great place to relax and enjoy the water in the summer. Two nice waterfalls on the Siouxon trail until I turned off for Horseshoe Ridge. This trail is not maintained given the downfall in the places and I assume that not many take the trail given the views from Huffman and Siouxon peaks. You are walking in the trees the whole trail on a primarily northern exposure so not much sun. Steep climb to the ridge line, especially precarious on the decent. Sioux trail was clear and but hit snow as I climbed towards the ridge.
