- Three Mile Grade : Oak Flat Ranger Station

The Oak Flat Ranger Station has been a stop along this highway for a long time. Here, campgrounds and water are available for use to the public. This is about half way down Three Mile Grade. As a side note, Oak Flat was formed when a large portion of the mountain above slid down.
