Mt. Beacon Trail Head
Mt. Beacon is a wonderful STRENUOUS local hike with fabulous views from the top(s). We will ooh and aaah from the first 'top', the Casino. We will continue on to the fire tower for a snack break and photo ops. NO DOGS. **UPDATE: NEWBIE NO-SHOWS ARE 100%.** If you sign up please show up. if you can't make it please change your RSVP. It is common courtesy. I will delete you after 2 no-shows. Thanks. The terrain is tough, to get to the Casino it is an unrelenting mile up. The ground is rocky and loose gravel, very slippery. I don't post this event often because of the terrain. It is a relatively short hike, but don't let that fool you. 4.7 miles. We will dine in Beacon afterwards to celebrate our victory of The Mountain as long as somewhere dog friendly is available. :-). Bring: WATER, snacks, basic first aid supplies, and your camera....... :-) **Hiking boots mandatory.** No trail running shoes or sneakers. You need support for your foot and loose fitting shoes will not give you the support you need. \*\*\*If you bring a guest you are responsible that they are properly prepared too. \*\*\* **If you aren't properly prepared I will ask you to find something else to do with your day.** COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO BEING PREPARED. There will likely be important info in comments or as an update to the original listing, posted before the hike. If you check and see comments or updates and you don't receive notification you should check your notifications or look on a desktop site. $2 Meetup fee. New friends, please send me your cell, I will return with mine. If weather is an issue I will post any changes by 7am. *Please reread the event description the night or morning of the hike for any updates.* You will not get comments on certain Meetup apps. I find the desktop experience gives you what you need. ALL HIKES ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
