7D 002. Here is the sign at the road to Seven Devils as we turned off from Highway 95.
|
 |
7D 003. The road as we start out from Highway 95.
|
 |
7D 004. More of the road.
|
 |
7D 005. Some of the scenery along the way.
|
 |
7D 006. More of the road and scenery.
|
 |
7D 007. More.
|
 |
7D 008. And more.
|
 |
7D 009. We are starting to get up into the trees and the road looks like it has turned into gravel.
|
 |
7D 011. More.
|
 |
7D 012. Another corner.
|
 |
7D 013. That isn’t snow. We are just taking pictures through the windshield.
|
 |
7D 014. We are gaining altitude and the road continues to be a little steep with a number of corners to deal with. Also, notice the smoke in the area.
|
 |
7D 015. More.
|
 |
7D 016. Lots of smoke.
|
 |
7D 017. This gives you an idea of what the day would be like if it were not for the smoke.
|
 |
7D 019. A sign guiding us on our way.
|
 |
7D 021. It is getting a little late in the day in addition to the smoke blocking some of the sun.
|
 |
7D 022. We should have used the flash. I think is says “Seven Devils National Recreation Area.”
|
 |
7D 024. Here is a sign at a fork in the road.
|
 |
7D 026. A shot of the road leading to the campground.

|
 |
7D 029. Here is the sign as we enter the campground.
|
 |
7D 030. We walked around in the campground before taking any pictures. This was an unexpected surprise. We didn’t know there was a little lake.
|
 |
7D 031. As we walked around, we took a picture of one of the fire facilities.
|
 |
7D 032. Here is the restroom facility.
|
 |
7D 033. Some of the scenery.
|
 |
7D 034. A closer shot of the restroom.
|
 |
7D 035. The inside, using the flash. It looks like the standard pit toilet. I don’t remember seeing any source of water at this campground. So, if you go, you need to bring plenty with you. I suppose the lake would be a source of water for washing, etc. I’d be a little afraid to drink it with out some kind of treatment.
|
 |
7D 037. Another fire facility.
|
 |
7D 038. Another.
|
 |
7D 039. A view of a campsite. There certainly seems to be plenty of firewood around here.

|
 |
7D 051. Another.
|
 |
7D 052. Another view of the lake.
|
 |
7D 053. And another. I wonder if it would be fun to bring the canoe and float around out there?
|
 |
7D 054. Another view.
|
 |
7D 055. Yet another.
|
 |
7D 056. Another.
|
 |
7D 057. This is more of the view as we walked back.
|
 |
7D 058. More of the campground.
|
 |
7D 059. More.
|
 |
7D 060. We were surprised to see so much firewood all chopped up and ready to use. I wonder if the folks who take care of the area do it or if campers just leave some behind.
|
 |
7D 061. Here is our pickup sitting in one of the camp spots.
|
 |
7D 062. A shot of some of the signs at the entrance to the campground.

|
 |
7D 069. Here is a shot of the look out above the Vista area.
|
 |
7D 070. Well, here is the sign at the vista area. If you look closely, you can make out that it says “Heaven’s Gate Vista.” I think the bottom part says “Seven Devils Recreation Area.”
|
 |
7D 071. Here is another sign in the area. You can read most of it.
|
 |
7D 075. Here is another shot of the same sign with a view of the mountains and the smoke.
|
 |
7D 076. A shot of our pickup in the parking area overlooking the mountains and the smoke.
|
 |
7D 077. More of the mountains and the smoke.
|
 |
7D 078. Another shot up at the look out.

|
 |
7D 096. I think these are wild turkeys.
|
 |
7D 097. Some deer.
|
 |
7D 098. Here they are as they run across the road.
|
 |
7D 099. Here are the birds again.
|
 |
7D 101. Another one of the road signs you would see on the way in. Some of these signs with the arrow pointing up are placed right in between a fork where one road splits into two roads. I wish we had a picture of the one that confused us for awhile.
