Customer Reviews
Secluded from the trail with at least 2 ok spots for a tent. Not many options for hammocks. Nice middle spot for a decent hike up, but a good haul if you try to make it to swinging bridge in one day. Elevation 5500 ft. On the top of the ridge and we go wind from both directions, though the trees helped block some.
