But well worth it — especially at the peak of fall colors, as there are always a couple of groves of aspen there that turn a much darker orange than most.
There's also a good spot to shoot west-bounds if you unload around MP 317.5 where there's a wide open hillside with plenty of room for 40 or 50 people that looks back toward MP 317.0. Here's a shot from the May, 2010 "Spring Green" excursion
