Cougar Rock

Leaders: We have cancelled our reservation due to our dog's surgery and will not be going camping or hiking, but the camping portion is still on for those who wish to do so.

Leave: You are on your own.

This is the time of the annual Perseids Meteor Shower and the best view will be up at Paradise for the evening sky show Monday evening. They usually have Rangers in the parking lot for a sky viewing. Cougar Rock campground has primitive sites with flush toilets and electricity in the bathrooms and water spigots near the restrooms. Go to recreation.gov or call 877-444-6777 for reservations. If you don't have reservations, they keep a fair number of sites open for walk-ons, so if you're willing to risk it, go ahead and go camping.
