The Kyburz Flat Interpretive Area has three historic areas within this driving and walking tour. Interpretive and directional signs at each stop provide information on a Native American petroglyph type known as cupules, a boardwalk that meanders through the site of an early stage route on Henness Pass road and a picnic area and reconstructed brick oven from the days of the Wheeler Sheep Camp. The entire tour should take less than an hour.
The Kyburz marsh lies southeast of the interpretive area and is a California Watchable Wildlife site for migrating birds. The road continues east and links to additional forest roads and a couple of fire lookouts that may be of interest to backroad travelers, mountain bikers or even hikers.
