Directions:
  • Follow MST from Craggy Gardens Picnic Area to Bull Mountain.

We decided to do a close trail, working on hiking a section of the MST we haven't been on. This was a rocky hike but had some great views. We didn't meet many people on the trail, as most people head the other way from the Craggy Gardens Picnic Area.

Heading towards Rattlesnake Lodge
