Loved It

by Lariska18

my sister and i did the hike today. we went right behind the sign. there is a fence, you can only get within 20 feet of the sign. We found a nice spot, set up a picnic and ate lunch! JaneTunks, maybe you should actually take the hike before you comment on it!

  • Pros: beautiful view, not crowded
  • Cons: hike (only 5 miles), can only get within 20 ft of the sign)

trecherous

by milesofsmiles

me and 3 friends hiked up the face of the mountain to try and touch the letters. little did we know that there is a paved trail that leads up the back... they do enforce the no hiking zones with helicopters as i have learned from experience. never got caught but we were circled about 3 times with a search light. i recommend taking the specified trail to the sign. hiking the face is quite a task.

it is a worthwhile gorgeous view.

The hike is much easier than it looks. It can get fairly hot if you go during the summer.
