We never went into the park but was able to drive around and get some cool pictures of the granite peaks. This is a very unique and interesting place.

A hidden gem. This hike offers amazing views of the Crags, Mt Shasta and the general horizon. Slope of the trail cam get slightly steep, but with hiking poles, the hike was very doable. Although, we didn't hike to the very top due to time constraints, we got far enough to feel accomplished. Trail is well marked and easy to navigate.

A fun hike to the top! Keep in mind this is all uphill one way and all downhill the other, so it’s more than just a stroll. But wow, what a great hike! A few downed trees were on the trail and there was some rock scrambling as you get closer to the top, but all are doable. It’s amazing to be able to see the dome and Mt. Shasta at the same time. Great day!

Lots of variety on this trail. Just as you get tired of the forest, you get a climb of a rocky pathway and then a sunny flat spot to chill at the end. Yes, it's hard but well worth it. Took me 4.5 hours. Very peaceful and outstanding mountaintop views.

I enjoyed my short visit, and the view fron the Vista Point trail. This dirt trail is very short and easy. Best to go on a clear day. There are about 20 parking places at the Vista Point trailhead after a one mile drive up a very narrow road.
