Anfahrt
2018: the 'direct' access from LZ's to TO has been washed out and is NOT passable anymore! Access is now via Arco (enter the road at the 'submarine'); follow signs direction 'Arco Pass', then left towards 'Natural Arch'. Finally turn left for 'Beaverland Pass'. Until there it is a pretty good dirt road. Now it becomes a bad track with wash-outs, requiring 4WD and medium to high clearance! Time required from TO to LZ: > 1 hour.
