    Tips

    July 4, 2018

    Hiking

    The summit of Shining rock is a bit brushy, with paths wending their ways to various spots. Several good tent and hammock campsites are about 0.25 miles back toward the Art Loeb trail.

    There is a small spring a short distance down the Shining Creek trail, though I'm not sure if it is active late in the fall. There is no post marking this trail.

    There is often a lot of black bear activity along the ridge, and frequent sightings.
