Access

The El Capitan Canyon tower site (34.465962, -120.029621) is located approximately 300m NW from the parking area at the start of El Capitan Terrace Lane. Drive NW out of this parking area up the two track access road approximately 150m. Park on the side of this two track. The campground owns the land adjacent to the two track, and you must cross the gully to the west to enter State Park property. Find a good local maximum with an acceptable northwest fetch, approximately 200m west of the parking area. Do not drive beyond the two track due to the danger of vehicle exhaust starting a fire.

Notes

  • Contact once before initial install
  • Primary contact:
  • This is a long carry site across the gully. The ground is generally firm, but watch for holes.
  • The mustard will grow quite tall here and it may be worth weedwacking a path (the initial set-up path is still obvious)
