Hermit's Rest, Curecanti National Recreation Area
This hike is an easy downhill descent to the Morrow Point Reservoir, but a strenuous 1900' uphill ascent on the return on a well defined trail. Beautiful vistas abound on this lightly used trail.
Starting at the Hermit's Rest TH the trail follows numerous switchbacks to reach the Reservoir.
There is a nice picnic area at the bottom where we will enjoy a snack, checkout the shoreline and prepare for the ascent back up to the Hermit's Rest TH.
