Red Creek I presume...3
more km to parking area from here. |

Rough road appox a 12km,
watch for wash outs and over hanging branches.
I drove a van in and had to slow down to a crawl, though I past several
cars on the way back, I would recommend a four a wheel drive and even
then you best be willing the get you paint scratched...or park and
bike in. |
