Parking is allowed in designated parking areas only. The refuge is open for day use only; no overnight parking is allowed. Overnight camping is available at Glenwood and Trout Lake.

Road Views – Please be cautious and courteous when pulling off the road. Parking is available west of the BZ/Glenwood Highway.
