GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,480 ft.
The campground is pack it in, pack it out and located adjacent to Big
Therriault Lake in a beautiful setting of thick Sub-Alpine and Douglas
firs. The understory is heavy with shrubs, some wildflowers, young pine
and other vegetation. This makes for nice seclusion between sites.
Hiking the Big Therriault Loop Trail around the lake is a must - it is
gorgeous. Big Therriault Lake is so pristine, it's like looking through
a cut glass window. Firewood is available from the host. This campground
represents another one of those "best kept secrets."
Of special interest is the many interpretive signs along Forest Rt. 319
explaining the sights and geology along the way.
