Due to a bridge weight restriction on county road 3400 N, we have a couple of driving options depending upon size of the vehicle.  Here are the weight restrictions of the crooked bridge just west of the Park.  The crooked bridge is scheduled for a modern replacement in the Summer of 2010 which will eliminate all weight restrictions after completion.

 

 

 

Motor Coaches and the Big Rigs that are unable to use the crooked bridge due to weight restrictions.

Drive 7 miles north from Arco into the little town of Moore, Idaho.  At Jensen Storage make an easy right turn onto County Road 3350 W.  Look for the famous Hang Glider Launch sign.  Proceed north from Moore 1.2 miles to the intersection of county road 3300 N.  Turn right (east) on this paved road and proceed 2 miles towards King Mountain and the Yield Sign at the intersection of Hill Road (some maps call this King Mountain Road.) Look for a big yellow cattle guard with huge tires on each side.  Directly above the cattle guard we can see the road to the King Mountain Launch Sites.

 

Here the pavement ends. Turn left and proceed north along Hill Road 1.3 miles until reaching another road intersection which swings left onto 3400 N.  This gravel road continues west down a shallow grade and across a small canal. It then turns back south for a few hundred feet until turning again west.  Drive 1/10th of a mile west until reaching the Main Entrance.

 

When southbound on US 93 from Mackay

Drive 17 miles southeast from Mackay into the little town of Moore, Idaho. At the light green colored storage building and the main intersection in town, make a left turn all the way back around to the north onto county road 3350 W.  Proceed north from Moore 1.2 miles to the intersection of county road 3300 N.  Turn right (east) on this paved road and proceed 2 miles towards King Mountain and the Yield Sign at the intersection of Hill Road (some maps call this King Mountain Road.) Look for a big yellow cattle guard with huge tires on each side.  Directly above the cattle guard we can see the road to the King Mountain Launch Sites.
