Description

The Lizard Rock Trail accesses the Lost Creek Wilderness just beyond the boundary at its junction with the Hankins Pass trail. From a bridge over Tarryall Creek, the trail climbs gradually to the north, growing steeper near the top. Just west of where the trail reaches the Wilderness boundary and meets the Hankins Pass trail is Lizard Rock, which if you squint just right and have a good imagination, looks like a lizard.
