This site is a really great spot to stay if you are backpacking the loop alone or with a small group in a single tent or hammocks. It has one of the coolest fire pits I have seen that is set up against a large rock. This makes it easier to build and control your fire while in some of the windier conditions you can get in the winter on top of the ridge. Another nice thing about this site is it is only a short walking distance back to the group site with the water but also close to the areas that provide the better views.
