Description

From the saddle between the two hills, you come to the junction of Send It and Telegraph Trails where there is a welcome bench. A short trail towards the west initially pushes though some trees, but soon comes to a long slab of rock. Carefully ascend this rock ramp to the top where a viewpoint awaits.
