Looking up the trail to the Oak Hill ledges Route: Unknown trail While I had planned to take a subpar forecasted day off to rest my knee after five consecutive days of hiking, I decided to take a late lunch break and try the Oak Hill hike before the late afternoon clouds moved in. Arriving at the trailhead, I parked on the side of the road and quickly set foot up the short, gradual trail. Surprisingly, considering it was such a short hike, the views were tremendous. Particularly interesting was the large cross located on the ledges - perhaps religious camp services are conducted here. I also ventured a bit further over to another set of ledges - careful, they're more slippery than a typical Washington politician!

Take a left onto Canaan Road. Take a right onto Sentinel Lodge Road. Soon, utility lines will be to the left of the road. Just before the road starts to dip to the camp entrance, look for a blue sign on the right (facing downhill toward the camp) that says 'The Ledges'. Back to Oak Hill Profile
