Monkey Face View | Upper Bidwell Park

Hiking area

👍👍 It was crowded on New Year’s Day as expected. It was a hazy day but the views were still breath taking. We hiked from the north rim parking lot and climbed to the power lines. This is a 4 mile round trip moderate hike. It’s rocky with mile hill inclines.
