Overview

Timber Pass Corral is an historical sheep ranching corral. I don't know much about it, but it probably dates from the turn of the century. This is an interesting part of the human history in this area.

The parking area also makes for a reasonably nice campsite. It isn't level, but it is off the road and cleared.
