The Panther Junction Visitor Center is one mile ahead. There you may obtain further information and orientation. A ranger can answer your questions and help plan your visit. Publications for sale and free brochures deal with almost every aspect of the park. You will also find a post office, restrooms, and a short 0.25 mile nature trail. A gas station is located 1/8 mile to the west of the visitor center.
