People also come to this area for studying natural and cultural history, hunting, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and camping. There are 78 pay campsites on the reserve. Most of these sites have a picnic table and fire ring, but they do not have on-site water or toilets.
Vaulted toilets are throughout the reserve, and there is one potable water source.
There is a small visitor center in Almo, Idaho. The store also sells gas, sandwiches and groceries. The inside of the store is full of antiques and you may have to look out the window to make sure you haven't stepped back in time.
