Keystone Point - 5.28.2017
The link above to the trailhead directions for this hike stops a mile or so short of where we parked in the photo... think of it as a hiker's choice on when to stop driving and start hiking... it was our second hike of the day so we just kept driving until we couldn't drive anymore... for us the hike was .6 miles roundtrip, gaining 243 feet of elevation.
|
Following a path up toward Keystone Point and looking down where the road ended... we used a combination of the Entiat River Road, Mills Canyon Road, FS-5200, FS-5213 and finally FS-5213-123 to reach our parking spot.
