Trail Information

Near the top, this trail approaches a rock formation that resembles a lizard, thus the name "Lizard Rock Trail". Several loops, some large, can be made from the end of the Lizard Rock Trail. Some of the loops might include the Lake Park, Brookside/McCurdy, Hankins Pass, Goose Creek, McCurdy Park, and Ute Creek trails. The Lost Creek Wilderness boundary is located at the end of the Lizard Rock trail. Ensure that you are familiar with Wilderness regulations if you continue into the Wilderness.

Description

Park at the trailhead parking, outside the Spruce Grove campground, if you are not staying in the campground. Walk through the campground (stay right on loop), past the outhouse and across the bridge over Tarryall Creek. Make a hard left, passing through a boulder tunnel, to start on the Lizard Rock Trail.
