Highway 21, also known as the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway, snakes along Mores Creek to Mores Creek Summit, Gold Fork and Banner Ridge, offering historic sites, hot springs pools and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forest along the way.Mores Creek runs between the highway and the campground, offering whitefish and rainbow trout fishing. Numerous trails are in the area, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding.
