A bed of pine needles creates a padded comfortable area that is perfect for a large group backpacking in the area. This site sits a little ways back from the trail but is a nice quiet and secluded spot. There is a large established fire pit and many large flat areas that are perfect for tents. The pine trees also provide a nice cover to make this a well-protected site in case of bad weather. Although it doesn't have the views of the other parts of the trail it makes up for it in coziness. Just make sure to mark this on your map before you leave since it can be a tougher site to find especially in the summer when everything is so lush and green.
