A must see! On a clear day from the summit, you have a 360 degree view ~ and ~ if you're lucky, you'll even see Half Dome at Yosemite (you might need to take your binoculars). Great hiking abounds, but take plenty of water. Best in Fall, Winter & Spring, as it can get very hot in the summer. Take a compass, a map and be observant so you don't get lost.
