Default Eagle Peak Trail 8-14-11

Having just spent a couple days at Niagara Rim camping with some good friends, and with them leaving for home a different way than me, I took a look in the C. Wells Guide Book I noticed a cool little trail I was willing to take the time to run. It's name is Eagle Peak Trail. The trail is located just west of where we had been camping and according to the book it's not a difficult trail. Let me tell you, the view from the top of Eagle Peak is outstanding. Here's are a couple of pics, Enjoy:

Looking Back at what I was on:


This is an awesome trail, if you find yourself in that area this is a must do trail.

It's about 120 miles from Fresno. A few hours. It's near Strawberry, CA.
