| Photography |
| Portal photos are easy, traffic volume is low. Getting down the the stream is usually easy from either side. Snow made it difficult when we were there. |
| Parking |
| Parking is available on either side of the bridge along the shoulder. I park along the edge of the road on a muddy spring day. Needed 4 wheel drive to get out of the mud. |
