Hilary Hollow

This segment starts at the crossing of FR #152 and continues to the Hwy 9 trailhead.  There is a small place to park on FR152 (for about 1-2 cars) or you can park near Lake Sylvia and connect to the OT via a short spur trail. 

This segment of the OT is still in the mountains and winds through thick forest between FR152 and Nancy Mountain Shelter.  The photo on the right was taken at ~ mile 188.   In summer it can be jungle-like.
