We plan on driving up pretty soon after they open the gates at 8. We thought about doing the motorcycle too, but since you can only get to the Junction by vehicle, decided to take the car. We'll go in North Gate Rd. and Thom is thinking he'll park at the hairpin just below the rangers' house. There is a very wide spot there, so he'll be able to get off the road. We'll be able to hike up at a leisurely place, scoop out where the best photo opportunities are, eat lunch and station ourselves in a good place.
