 | Comments: |
Several fine viewpoints on ledges along the trail. The ledges are first reached about 3 miles from Camels Hump and offer views in all directions including nice views Camels Hump itself from a couple of different vantage points.
Lots of ups and downs started taking a toll on my aging knees at about 10 miles, (12.4 miles RT, 4000' elevation total). When the State Park reopens, this this would be a fantastic Hike with a car spot there to reduce the distance and elevation drop on the way down while preserving the views on the way up. |
