📵
No Cell Service

There is little to no cell signal at Silver Lake. Download maps, share plans, and pick a meetup spot BEFORE you lose service.

🚱
Bring Your Own Water

No potable water at the campground. Haul in plenty — drinking, cooking, dishes. This is a Legendary-tier responsibility.

🐻
Bear Country

Bear-resistant lockers at each site. Lock up all food and scented items. The bears are not on the roster.

🏔️
7,200 ft Elevation

Cold nights even in summer. Pack a warm layer and a real sleeping bag. Altitude + beer hits different.
