Activity Notes
We will meet at MMC and carpool out to the trailhead at Beacon Rock State Park. This moderately challenging Lollipop Loop has waterfalls, craggy cliffs, deep forests and superb views. We will hike to the summit and then go down to the Saddle where we will have lunch. We will then go down the road to take Don's Cutoff down to the Upper Hardy Creek Trail. From there, we will go back down to the trailhead.
There is a bathroom at the Trailhead. You will need a Discovery Pass.
This hike is 7.5 miles with a 2100 ft elevation gain.
