Today my daughter and I hiked Oxbow Loop and then up to the Pratt Balcony.
We arrived at 10 and parked at the double privy lot for Oxbow. We did the clockwise route Oxbow. Love this loop for its flat trail and marvelous missy trees. Not too long too.
Left Oxbow after an hour or so and drove to the pullout two miles up road. On the left.
The trail up to Pratt veers off to the right and uphill just before the first creek crossing ( now dry).
It’s a bit of elevation gain but not too far then… the balcony! Such a great view. We had the spot to ourselves today probably because it was overcast.
You can take in the view from the opposite direction if you turn around and head up the hill behind Pratt. There’s a little bench there.
Hardly saw anyone all day. 5.37 miles total and back to our car by 1:30. MJB
