Starting from Beacon Rock State Park's equestrian trailhead, hike up Hardy Ridge to Phlox Point, then take the Bridge Trail and Don's Cutoff to the Saddle, then go up to Hamilton Mountain and return on Equestrian Trail. 

Activity Notes

Starting from Equestrian Trailhead, ascend Phlox Point, then descend to a bridge across a creek and re-ascend to the windy saddle on the way to Hamilton Mountain. Summit the mountain and return via the more direct route on the Equestrian Trail. Our lunch spot may depend on where we can stand the wind. Our stats will be 12.9 miles with 2.950' of gain. 

We will leave Gateway Transit Center at 07:00, taking SR 14's toll free route to the Equestrian Trailhead. Every vehicle parked at the trailhead must display a Washington Discover Pass. Directions can be viewed at https://maps.app.goo.gl/jrV1xEoBsi5akTo99.
