Aug 11 Beacon Heights Hike


Beacon Heights is a spur trail off Tanawha and MST. It is a short hike of less than a mile to a couple large rock outcroppings with decent views to the east. One of the rocks has a nice view of Grandfather Mountain since you are in its shadow here.


We saw an usual wildflower here, Blazing star but I failed to get a photo of it, thinking there would be a better example.
