Shelving Rock Road and Dacy Clearing Road

Tent camping opportunities that fill up quickly along these dirt roads (Dacy Clearing Road closed winters/spring), along with nearby trails. No camping within 500 feet of this road except in designated sites.

Last Climb to the Top

Finally made it !! Actually, despite being a steep scramble up many parts, it's only 1.4 miles from the parking lot, and only 1,300 feet. It's a real nice hike.
