Description

This is the area just north and downhill from the summit.

Gigantic boulders, physical climbs, and poison oak abound -- a stoked explorer may unearth treasures as yet untouched by human hands.

As of early 2025 all Poison Oak has been removed from the trail. But that doesn't mean it can't come back, so watch out -- you have been warned.

Getting There

Hike up the road and take a trail down on the other side before you reach the summit.
