#4,5,6 - The Vales
Between the two mountains is a gentle area where a small creek trickles along and a little meadow. Right off the road pushed into the mountain side.
To access the Vale locations, drop down from Bear Top #1, pass Saddle Ridge #3, and following the gentle ravine downward moving south-east. Several small meadows offer a nestled retreat options. The creek may be seasonal depending on winter water amounts. The creek brings wild life to the water, including dear, bear, and others.
Arriving at the Vales
The video below crosses over the property line and passes, on the left, Vale 1 and stops at Vale 2.
Vale 1
Vale 1 sits just south of the property line. About 100 feet from the road is a nice space with aspens and pine that could enclose a retreat. This location is placed just beyond the creek. The view is semi-enclosed but the site is more accessible and more visible than most of the locations being close to the road.
Vale 2 is nearly identical to this site.
Vale 3
Vale 3 is very similar to the the other Vale locations. Vale 3 is about 100 yards east of Vale 1 along the some seasonal creek, although the location is best if situated on the south side of the creek. Lots of open space for this location for parking open views.

Alternate site and access to site #7
Cross the creek behind Vale 3 and there are 3 other site options. The first is Grove Retreat #7 and two other sites as shown below.
This video starts at the back on Vale 3, crosses the creek and shows an alternate space with some elevation and a view.
Alternate site - 360° View
This alternate site sits slightly more elevated on a small knull with a nice view of the surroundings. You can see the hidden road just below which dead-ends again at the creek - a possible retreat location as well.
To get to Grove Retreat #7, you must past this location and push left up into the mountainside to the north.
