What do you use for a camera mount? Here is a link to a write up on the Bullet Cam set up... The cool part is I can attach the bullet cam to a 3x5 sheet magnet which lets me put it anywhere on the rig. Still experimenting with different locations. Can't wait to try some water crossings with a water level view. Posted By Craig Miller on 12/09/2008 8:10 AM
Looks like a fun way to spend an afternoon. Too bad you couldn't make it to the top. Did you air down?
I love that road. With snow, that drop off can give you the willies! Without snow it's not a technical drive, but it sure is beautiful up at the top; especially in spring when the wildflowers are out. I haven't been up there in a while, but there are some photos of the road in spring in one of the older galleries.
Other good drives/hikes in the area are: Artist Point, Heliotrope Ridge, and Excelsior Pass. The last one isn't much of a drive, but is a great hike. I did air down... the snow had thawed and refrozen a couple of times so it was thick and fluffy on top with ice under. You're right that road is normally a pretty easy road and Twin Lakes is a great place. Try the hike up to the Fire Look Out (2 miles). The 360 view is incredible and you can stay in the look out (shared with anyone who shows up). Thx for recommending the other trails. |
