Description
Continue on from the Vista Point where you'll hike through some nice, grassy wind-swept meadows up to the PG & E vista bench. This steep fire road climbs steadily up to the junction with PG & E Trail but you'll get some great views of the canyon and valley below that make the climb worth the effort.
