Sorry, just saw this. No, no benches. It's fairly plain Jane, but it's relaxing and chill if there aren't many people.

Last time I was there there were two solid benches, could be more now. 4 steel targets capable of wistanding 30-06 AP rounds with no damage as the targets are angled forward to also deflect the rounds.

Good to know. Thanks guys. I'll report back about the benches. I guess I should bring my mat. I'm assuming it's okay to shoot prone.

Interested to know if a 4x4 or any car with some good ground clearance is needed to drive up there?

Benches were there months ago perhaps last fall. It hasn't rained in days so a normal car should be as to make it up there. My Santa Fe has no problems but it has a greater clearance than cars.

Life is passing me by too quickly. EDIT: If you get this - take lots of picks and give us an AAR when you get back. |

I got to the range at 9am this morning. Had the whole range to myself for 2 hours until a small group showed up. Great little range with steel targets and 5 2-sided benches. The only thing that was disappointing was that the steel targets were only out to 85 yards. On their website it states it's a 100 yard range. Oh well, had a great time and will most likely go back in a few weeks.
P.S. I don't know how anyone can get up there in a small car. I have an SUV and some parts of the road had some deep dips in them. FYI. |

How long did the drive take? It's 2-ish hours for me, or I'd go more.

It's the vehicle thing that keeps me from going. I'm not up to hiking in with all my crap anymore.

Wait, you can't park a truck up there anymore?

No, I was referring to ground clearance. Pretty low slung here.

Nope. They created a small parking lot nearby. |

Nope. They created a small parking lot nearby. Well then fuck them. I'm not in the military anymore and I'm not rucking up and down that hill, gear or not, when I bought a Jeep for that express purpose. It should be like it always was - first come, first served. Too full? Drop your shit, go down and park, walk back up. |

So you left all your gear alone while you went to park your car? |

I parked once at the very bottom of the hill at a tiny pullover since I had a regular car. Was lucky and got a ride up, but the walk down was not a whole lot of fun toting everything and I had burned up all the ammo!
On google maps there is a truck parked right there... there is even more area there than before.... How far away is this new parking area? |

If others were there, no I wouldn't have left my gear. |
