The best part of the South Slope Loop camp sites was the shade! This is such a lovely forested area. The restrooms and camp sites were nice and clean. We didn't realize this until after starting a hike but the Loop Trail is accessible from the South Slope Loop near camp site #19. From there it is only a quick hike to the Interpretive Trail as well.
