Description:
“If you have found this place you have found our hearts”.
The best, most popular half-day trip in the area is a short, steep pull with a touch of scrambling onto a rocky ridge. It’s not the top of anything, rather the dramatic south end of the Willow Creek Hills come to a full stop above Willow Creek Bridge. Naturally, it’s an irresistible attraction to campers from nearby Indian Graves who once upon a time would hop across Willow Creek and scramble up the west face. Be prepared for plenty of flowers!
