DO NOT DRIVE OFF ROAD or OFF TRAIL ON LULU PASS. There are designated dispersed camping spots and parking lots for parking trucks & trailers. If parking on a road, please pull over as fast as you can to keep roads clear for traffic
SLED DROP OFF / TURNAROUND
Due to snow levels down low, you will have to drive your sled to the Lulu Pass / Daisy Pass Connector Road. Please drop a sled and park lower. Roads are rough and single file. Trucks with Sled decks are the best option. Big trailers will not make it up.
