General description: Very open site with little protection from the elements. The ground is mostly rocky and rooty that limits the number of tenting options. One tent site that could be considered flat, and another that could be used in a pinch. Pie shaped, but only about 8m at the back (east side) of site could be used for tenting, hammocks could easily be hung in the other area.

Overall accessibility: No real issues other than the rock could be slippery when wet.


Great views all around from this firepit.

The tentpad is on the right, area in front of large rock is a possibility?.

Would it be OK for hammocks?

The only flat and level tentpad.
