Join the Mazamas for this scenic hike in the Columbia River Gorge!
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.
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. Lunch spot may depend on where we can stand the wind. Total hike will be 12.9 miles with 2,950' of elevation gain.
Every vehicle parked at the trailhead must display a Washington Discover Pass.
