Tom, If you want to go in prior to the formal opening time, be prepared to PAY dearly for a guide. You will have no choice. Guide or nothing. If I remember, it cost us (3) $40 ea. Sunrise is prior to daily opening time. We had been in the previous pm and knew exactly where we wanted to be, but we were not given a choice. I had a 4-WD, but many didn't and at that time,('prox 3 yes ago) the road/trail didn't require it. There is a day use picnic area I saw, but don't believe there is a camping place there. I'm putting up a shot taken from the picnic area. (Used orange filter) Recommend close by Goulding's Lodge, 2 mi. off US 163 and Goulding's Jct. All services and a bit of history. The lodge is perched on a side bluff which affords a nice area view. It overlooks a small airport where, at least at one time, provided light fixed wing aircraft flights over the Valley. I have no financial interest in Goulding's, but am furnishing their 'phone no. in case: (435) 727-3231.
