Drove from Twin Rivers Campground. AT up, which is often rocky and slow going but so scenic with panoramic views, rhododendrons and laurel in bloom, and rock formations.
About half mile before shelter we turned at sign for bear cabinet which took us to Rhododendron gap trail. An easier way down and still scenic.
