Sterling Forest Bare Rock Hike on June 5, 2011

Sterling Forest Visitors Center - May 2009

The Smoke Rise Lake & Environmental Committee, and more specifically Ken Bitz, request that you Save June 5th, 2011 for a hike to Sterling Forest's Bare Rock.

We last visited Sterling Forest on May 17, 2009 to visit the Fire Tower. That was a spectacular hike with  breath-taking panoramas. [Note to self: I need to share with you my photos from that hike...]

Ken proposes a similar visit to Sterling Forest, with a hike along the new orange trail that goes to Bare Rock, which offers a fantastic view of Greenwood Lake. It is about the same difficulty as the hike to the Fire Tower.
