Kaiser-Aetna Road & Bell Station
A southeastern access to Coe Park, in development
This section includes photos of or from the Kaiser-Aetna Road between the Burra Burra Peak area and the Bell Station entrance. This road is not yet open to public motor vehicle use, but plans are under way to make it a seasonal or year-round entrance. For now, you are welcome to hike or mountain bike up the road from the small parking area by the park's maintenance building.

The lands in the foreground, including the pond, are part of the privately owned Shaeirn Ranch.
The state owns the road and the right-of-way up to the fence line.

You can see a bit of the road on the knoll on the horizon at the right.
The next photo below was taken from that point.
