About the event
The Lawson Trail, within Hood Mtn RP, is named after the Lawson family, who owned property there as well as a gas station at the corner of Hwy 12 and Melita Rd known as Lawson’s Corner. The former Lawson property is a recent acquisition to HMRP causing the park to construct the Lawson Trail. This professionally built trail winds its way up to a ridge top which offers excellent views.
We’ll explore newly acquired property just beyond the former Lawson land before wandering past 2 ponds as we gradually return to the parking lot. This is a hike of approx 7 miles with an elevation gain of 1000 ft. Wear weather appropriate clothing, bring a lunch, liquids and hiking poles if needed. Depart the Berger lot at 8:30.
Hike leader is Dave Chalk, 707-972-8988.
