Description

This free day use area offers toilets and nice scenery. No camping or overnight parking allowed. When the weather is good, the Tintina Trench viewpoint is a must-stop. One of the interpretive panels explains: 'Beneath the Tintina Trench is a fault line along which the bedrock has shifted a minimum of 450 km laterally.
