    CMoulder, The Pharaoh Lakes Wilderness in the Dacks is indeed an especially gorgeous area...black bear country though it is...my Grandparents and parents summered nearby Lake George in the 1950s and 60s. Most recently, I celebrated my Aunt's 75th birthday at Lake George, near Ticonderoga, and drove through the Pharaoh Lakes Wilderness Area to access our campground. I was thinking to myself that this would be a prime area to hike/canoe and hammock. Fortunately I had a chance to explore nearby Paradox Lake. Definitely a most beautiful area for camping, although admittedly a bit of a long drive for me being from the DC area.

    This was off I-90 E in Washington. One of my first solo backpacking trips. I found a lil area that gave me JUST enough room to setup my hammock, chair, and cooking kit on the side of a long that was shortly followed by a drop straight down off the side of the mountain. Had a small stream very close as well- had to do a lot of hanging onto trees and such to maneuver around without falling down the hill- but so worth it for the view from my hammock!

    This was the view the next morning as the clouds lifted out of the valley.

    And I can't leave out my camping buddy- Jango!

    Definitely one of my favorite hangs so far!
    Wow! Wild and beautiful!

    You are right, hard to pick the best spot in ID!

    Open, cleared pine grove on a small bluff, you can see out across the lake from almost every tree-pair, eagles, loons, sunsets with great viewing rocks along the shore.... tough to beat.
    I would love to hang there!

    I have hiked and back packed all of these SPECTACULAR AZ spots(used to live in both Phoenix and later Flagstaff), but I have not yet had the pleasure of hanging a hammock there.

And a short walk in almost any direction yields some fantastic mountain-top vistas. Although it involves a decent climb to get there, it is well worth the effort! And many of the campsites down along the lakes can be really beautiful as well.





    Wow, that looks beautiful!

    Yet to find a favorite for beauty but this was fun and picturesque on my last forey. Probably the snow and the narrow FS road but love it.
    My family has a cabin ontop of the Uncompagre Plateau just outside Montrose Colorado that is mostly spruce and pine pocketed with Aspen Groves. I am itching to hang in an Aspen Grove in Fall when the leaves are turning but for now this is my most beautiful spot to hang.

    This would be it. In the sunrise shot, you can spy my hammock in the bottom-left corner above the rocks. Also note the hiker in the middle of the photo (the little white dot) for scale.
