Elevation of the area ranges from 5000 feet in the valleys to 8,000 feet at some of the caves.

From the North (Salt Lake City)

From I-15 Southbound get off on the second Lehi exit heading west on State Road 73 (Main St). Turn South (Left) on State Road 68 (Redwood Rd.) There is a Smith's grocery store on the southeast corner. Follow this road (about 20 minute drive) until you come to mile marker 7and turn right (west) following a gravel road for another 20 minutes. Just after you turn off onto this road you will pass a farmhouse on the right about 200 yards off the paved road. The dirt road will swing past a lonely ranch several miles out; this is Allens Ranch. Just past Allens, take the gravel road off to the left towards the pass. Take the second rough gravel road to the left. The camp is within the trees. We will have signs marked RMR with arrows.   Hopefully, they don’t get ripped down before you arrive.

From the South (Santaquin)

From I-15 Northbound get off at the Santaquin main exit (the exit with all of the gas stations).
Follow Route 6 westward. As you start heading up hill look for a gravel road coming in from the right with a hard cutting back turn. Follow this road until you pass through a fence line, see a large open valley, and Allen Ranch (the only ranch near the Campground). Turn left. Turn on the road to the left heading towards a pass. Take the second rough gravel road on the left heading towards a patch of trees. Once you reach the trees you are at the campground. We will post signs for RMR leading the way. Hopefully they will be still in place as you are arriving.
