    Road cycling

    This campground was once a glorified tavern being able to sleep 185 guests and included a ballroom, multiples stories, a kitchen, and dining hall. It was a stop along the Mt Lowe Electric Railway from 1895 until 1936. The tavern welcomed over three million visitors in its forty-one years of operation. Unfortunately, hard time and a fire brought it to an end and the remains were removed in 1959 by the U.S. Forest Service.
