My second time at Sky camp, which I have found to be beautiful year-round, whatever the weather. The views across Drakes bay more than make up for the mile and a half hike uphill from the trailhead to the campsite. Very peaceful and quiet site. The only sounds are the wind in the trees, distant breakers on Limantour beach, and the occasional woodpecker. Since there is good potable water on-site, you need only carry what you need for the hike up, which saves weight in your pack.

I hiked up to Sky Camp along the Mt. Whittenberg trail, which was quite steep. (For context, a good hike for me is usually 6-8 miles and includes 500+ feet of elevation gain.) From my site, I had a clear view out to the ocean. There was some clouds and fog as the sun went down, which led to an absurdly beautiful two hours of gorgeous sunset. The fog rolled in as full dark fell, thickly enough that the trees were dripping. I woke the next morning to light to moderate rain, which made for an atmospheric hike out. I looped the long way, taking Sky Trail to Old Pine, and out along Bear Valley to the Bear Valley Visitor Center. Overall, very enjoyable! Glad I tried an October backpacking trip and will definitely be doing so again. Also, all this was accomplished using the 68 bus- no need to drive out!

Pretty easy hike in. #5 had great views. Wonderful area to watch the sunset and sunrise. Some trees for shade or hammock hanging and to provide some privacy.
