Getting to Parsons Landing Campground This is a very challenging portion of the TCT, but one of the most rewarding. From the Two Harbors campsite, you make your way south, across the Isthmus to the Silver Peak Trail portion of the TCT. From high atop this vantage point you will experience breathtaking, panoramic views of the Island. The 1,728-foot descent into Parson's Landing down Fence Line Road is a steep one, but with several places to rest along the way. |
