Cappie’s Scoop: I once hiked another trail called Eagle Peak and the whole time, I’m looking around for an eagle. No eagle. This time I was surprised to see some huge rocks on the trail that looked like an eagle! Finally, a bird dog on a hike to see a big bird! It’s really a surprise because you hike through some wooded areas, the trail then opens up to a big meadow with cows roaming around (they have big poops by the way), and then we get to a pile of rocks. But you have to walk around the rocks and stand in front of them to see the bird. We had our lunch on one of the rocks and then I told mom to get a good picture of me with the eagle. She did. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: This hike travels along the PCT through oaks and rolling hills.
