Section 13 Overlook... Section 13 overlook area is a popular rock climbing area as well as hiking section of the SHT. Quite rocky and dramatic in this section with great views of the Sawmill Valley etc. There was a parking area along Lake County Road 6 and its only about a mile hike on the SHT to the Section 13 Cliffs. There are some great views along the way as well. A popular area I often encountered people sitting and hanging out on top the large rocky open area of Section 13 and rock climbers climbing. Impressive terrain and views and not that long of a hike as well as known for rock climbing. |

There are a couple campsites in the area. Certain times of the year it gets a lot of visitors. I didn’t have any panorama images of this section but hikers will find wide beautiful views. |
