It has been over 25 years since I last hiked Crane and spent a few days camping at the top. I remember carrying a 80+ pound backpack full of gear up the steep trail, but well worth the effort. Great hike, the view from where the old fire tower used to sit is amazing, tranquility at it's best, with only the sounds of nature. Great place to unwind and just enjoy the moment. Definitely one of my most memorable hike in camping trips. My only regret is that I did not have a camera in that pack, I guess I will have to do it again and take some pictures this time.
