Some day, if I were strong enough to backpack the 1.5 miles up here, I'd like to camp here.
This pole is for backpackers camping at Hightower. You use the small pole in front to hoist your backpack up to one of the crooks in the brown pole. There the bears can't reach your pack. There's also a hut at Hightower and cooking fireplace. Unfortunately there was also evidence of humans -- cigarette butts, a couple spots of human waste and toilet paper. Considering the number of people listed in the journal at the hut, though, I'll guess 95% of the people using the camping area are respectful.
The signpost marking our way.
