Growing up my dad had Three Bell Jet Rangers and one of them was a long ranger. I wish I could go back in those days I was lucky and blessed. I miss and love him very much !

Definitely my friend, you can go all the way up here with your car where I was taking this video and park. You've got a great view of the majority of the interesting bits, they also have a few restaurants and toilets around so pretty much all set for a whole day of comfortable spotting! Send me a message if you need more info and I'll be happy to help!
