Description Suggest change

The North Bank area is on the road to North Bank campground. The turn off is just past the second buttress on the left. There is a parking area for the use of hikers at the end of this road. However, the North Bank area is actually closer to the second buttress so the parking area at the second buttress is best. It is a short walk up the road and it's the first area that's very close to the road. The right side of the North Bank area is slightly up the hill and faces south (while the rest faces east).
