    One of the Redwood sites in the morning light.

    Jumbo Rocks is super ideal, great location very close to the Skull Rock and launching points for good day hikes. It's tucked between gigantic rocks giving you windproof and sunproof shelter during the day.

    Starting from Big Pine Campground, we hiked into the mountains to finish here at 2nd lake below Temple Crag. Remains one of the coolest spots I've been lucky enough to set-up camp at. The views were so great, that we just had to soak it up outside the tent!
