- Purchase your Discover Pass before leaving. It is not possible to purchase a physical pass at the creek as no attendant is on duty (you may be able to purchase a temporary pass online but Internet access may be spotty).
- Bring offline copies of maps and other information. Internet access may be spotty. This location is relatively close to civilization but Internet performance may be very slow.
- Maintain your car. The roads are in decent shape for wilderness logging roads, but there are some potholes. Most cars will do fine except cars with very low clearance.

12 Monkeys is a 1995 American science fiction thriller film directed by Terry Gilliam from a screenplay by David Peoples and Janet Peoples, inspired by Chris Marker’s 1962 short film La Jetée. It stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Plummer. Set in a post-apocalyptic future devastated by disease, the film follows a convict who is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.
