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

Counter-clockwise loop on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, on a free day to park in Washington State Parks. We will first ascend Hamilton Mountain via the Equestrian Trail and then we will ascend to Phlox Point, the highest place in Beacon Rock State Park. Going in this direction we hope to avoid crowds on a free day. Please note that the Mazamas are adhering to all state and local regulations in offering our activities. Review our policies here: mazamas.org/covid19. You will be required to wear a mask within 6-ft of another person and to always have a mask at the ready in case we pass by others on the trail. We actively discourage carpooling at this time. If you are sick, you are asked to stay home.
