I'm sure there are some there. When I hiked Bell this Spring, there were two very pretty hippy girls camped on the rocks at the end (where you now have to wade or bushwack your way up canyon). Of course, they didn't have a fire, but they seemed content. They were doing yoga when I arrived, and it was very picturesque in that glow of sunrise.

There is no rock ring or anything there. All you need is your sleeping pad, bag, and a good crop of underarm hair and you are set.
A true outdoorsman, when treed by a bear, sits back and enjoys the view.

Lost? Hell, I ain't never been lost. But I have been a mite confused for a week or two.

LMAO :lol: Yeah, you can either get hippy's or the frat scene out there. Its still a sweet spot to hang out for the night in. Just get there early and nab one of the spots on the rock ledges unless your up for a little bushwack and possible oppritunities of sorta solitude.
