Featured trip
Bell mountain (8 miles)
If you use the OTA shuttle, this is the best day hike in the region. The view from Bell's peak is stunning. Hiking north-to-south makes for an easier trip. Continue to trip.
How do I get to trailheads on long winding roads? How far can I travel in a day or weekend? Where do I camp? How do I get back to my car?
