This is MY favorite Spring HeartySole warm up hike due to a variety of views and sights as this hike has it all. Spring here in this Park brings us wildflowers, 360 views at our snack/lunch spot, majestic colorful rock cliffs, a trail partially follows the Crooked River and we hike just beneath the Monkey Face monolith. In addition we hike up the Burma road to the top giving us overall views of this State Park with a well planned switch back trail that leads us down to the River. Hiking this loop counter clockwise allows a chance to see reflections of the cliffs in the Crooked River & other photo opportunities plus a chance to see climbers on the walls as we return to the bridge crossing.
Gear: Burma road section and first set of switchbacks of this hike are exposed to the sun, bring sunscreen and a brim hat is encouraged along with minimum of 2 liters of water, plus electrolytes either in your camel back or in a separate bottle. Layer your clothing as Terrebonne area is warmer than Sunriver area, good hiking or trail running shoes, no tennies, hiking poles are optional but always encouraged. Bug spray possibly needed but if a sull sunny day may not be used.
Hike is limited to 15 people incl. 2 leaders.
