It was so beautiful and so serene. I’m just sorry it’s not open all year. It was an awesome respite. Jerry, the camp host, was quite nice and he kept the grounds in great shape! Can’t wait to go back!!

Lower & Upper Relief Valleys and the East Flange Rock

Hiking Disaster Creek

While this is not a terribly scenic hike, the trees, creek, and terrain are very beautiful, and the entire area is quiet and peaceful. You're likely not to pass a single other person on the hike, which is great for letting dogs off-leash.The trail starts off with a series of switchbacks, which gain about 700 ft in elevation – this initial climb is certainly the steepest part of the hike, althou...

Leavitt Lake in Stanislaus National Forest
