Story:
Wow what a hike. This is a great challenge.
Skeels' Meadow Camps Elevation: 1,580 feet - Distance from HQ: 4.1 miles
The three campsites at Skeels' Meadow are along a side road that heads east from Hobbs Road. All three sites are close to the Middle Fork of Coyote Creek in the canyon between Middle Ridge and Blue Ridge. Skeels' Meadow is a sunny, grassy glade bordered by oaks, California bay laurels, and big-leaf maple trees. In the spring, the tender green grass and colorful wildflowers make this spot an excellent destination. The sites are marked with posts. Two of the sites are tucked under trees and are quite shady, and one is in a sunny spot on the northeast side of the meadow. You can usually find purifiable water in the nearby creek, even during the summer months. The area got its name from the adjacent private property, which was homesteaded by Lloyd Skeels and is still owned by his descendants.

Tips:
Go when the weather is cool. Also expect to do some heavy duty climbing on the way out.
