Sitton Peak Hike Guide

And look for the trail leading up to the left.

Follow the roadside for a minute or two.

(Carefully) cross the street from the parking lot and walk down the other side to the right.

The trail climbs Bear Canyon, passes the 1986 helicopter crash site, then makes a steep final push to the Sitton Peak summit.

From the parking lot you can see Sitton Peak.

Look for the parking lot across the street from the Candy Store and trailer park.

The final climb up to the summit can be overgrown. If you don’t want to scratch your legs up, long pants are probably a good idea.

The warm temperatures here offer lizards a nice place to sun themselves. You’ll see plenty of common lizards, but you might even spot a Coast Horned Lizard or snake. Have a camera ready for any interesting wildlife.

You need a parking pass here. I use an affordable National Parks Pass , which gets me in every national park, national monument, and national forest. You can also use an Adventure Pass or buy a day pass in the Candy Store across the street.
