Steve,
It's not really a left-hand turn so much as just a small pull-off. It's right near the bottom of the south side of the pass, just before the road takes a hard right (west). It's more like parking on the shoulder of the road than any actual parking lot. If you're there when the snow is melted out, then the parking is right before the dirt road.
