Great looking trip....

Yea very cool view.

We will be passing by Hansons ridge this weekend, depending how we do on time we might cut out onto it and have a look. The vids/pics I've seen do look impressive. I don't think we will camp on the ridge though, I am assuming its going to be busy. Will most likely try to camp somewhere between rush ridge and there.

It is the near the intersection of Rough Trail and Pinch-em Tight. Coming from Gray's Arch on Rough Trail after you cross the foot bridge (log) at "Footwash Basin/Falls" and climb back up on the ridge, the unmarked trail will be on the left just before the Rough Trail bends right. If you get to Pinch-em Tight Trl, you've gone too far.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much Broken Halo! That definitely helps, that's exactly what I was looking for. Some type of physical sign that id be coming up on it. I just hope I luck out and its not too busy with foot traffic up there tomorrow night!

A group of us are going back to the Red in May...May 14 to be exact. We've never hiked to Hanson's Point before and plan to this time. We usually rent a cabin; but I want to be at the point at sunrise (6:28 AM on May 14, 2016). Is it hikeable early morning; before sunrise? Or should we camp? Thanks so much for any feedback/advice!

I enjoyed the hike in reverse starting from the swifty river on the rough trail. Iended up on the ridge at Hanson's with too little water. I was the only one camped there on a Monday in May but there were still fires burning in some of the fire pits from the weekend along with excriment which was piled up along a side trail to the edge. I ran into a lot of different excriment locations along trails. Gross but the views are nice.

Beautiful pictures. Awsome report. the RRG is on my to do list. Do you have a website or recipes for your freezer bag meals?

I wouldn't recommend hiking many places in The Gorge in the dark; places can be dangerous and hard to find.

Thanks. I have some of the recipes I use in the link in my signature.
