| Hike Summary: | First a relatively short hike to and around Tharp’s log, trail head at the Crescent Meadow parking lot, then down to a junction with the High Sierra trail where we saw a sign for Eagles View, 0.2 miles up the trail. So we took that and got a beautiful view of the valley and peaks to the East. Back to the parking lot intending to return to the lodge. Drove to the entrance of theGiant Forest and saw a sign for the Sunset Rock trail, and since it was close to sunset, stopped at the parking area across from the Giant Forest Museum. Looked it up on the map. It was only about a mile, one way, so we took it and actually watched the sun set at sunset rock. |
