Please note : High Rock Lookout and the surrounding area, including High Rock Trail #266 and the trailhead parking area, will be closed for construction from July 7 to September 15, 2025. This closure is due to restoration work on the lookout, which includes replacing the foundation and reinstalling the structure.
I wanted my family to experience a gorgeous sunrise hike and what better way to convince them that this is an easy hike and that the trail would be inaccessible starting tomorrow 😊
We were at the TH by 3:55am. The last 8 miles to the trailhead takes time as the road has several potholes( see pics). There were around 50 cars by then. It took us 1 hour going up.
No bugs during the ascent but there were few mosquitoes on our descent. There are few beargrass and other wildflowers blooming along the trail.
It took us about 40 min to get back to the TH.
What a beautiful day in the PNW! Go on this hike today!
