      A magical place, hidden at the top and among the vegetation ... a spectacle that is difficult to describe

        If off season, this place is amazing for pitching your tent and enjoying a quiet evening and morning, with really beautiful views pretty much all around. The camp spot is up on the Wolf's Lair route itinerary on bikepacking.com, and visuals on in the Wolf's Lair episode 1 video. Absolutely worth an overnighter!
