Grouse Ridge Area - South Side:
High-spead Interstate-80 offers fast and easy access to the southern part of the area.
Rattlesnake Creek Road courses closer to the hiking area but easy access is limited and only four-wheel drive roads drop into the rugged valley of Fordyce Creek that marks the beginning of the hiking area lying to the north.
