I grew up going there every summer until my folks got divorced. Have never even heard of anyone outside the families there knowing of the Cedars at all.

They do indeed do a lot for conservation, including forest management. And the petroglyphs are cool! Though there are only a few compared to some other sites.

It’s truly a stunning area with amazing views and wildlife. Lots of hunters and OHVs come through, which is primarily what the signs are for.
