Historic markers and signs dot the landscape. Elk inhabit the relatively flat meadows in the summer and fall. Homestead Meadows was sold to the Forest Service in 1978, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The area is a popular destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders in the summer, and a trail network extends well beyond the homesteads. Spring and early summer are less crowded times.
Camping is permitted with certain restrictions.
