Lion Rock Viewpoint 6359'
Lion Rock Viewpoint
Making time for a short side trip out to Lion Rock during this part of the journey is a definite must. Once there, riders are treated to 180-degree views overlooking the Swauk Creek Valley and Central Cascades including Mt. Rainier. Be prepared for windy and cooler weather at this point, as the viewpoint extends out from a long steep cliff overlooking Central Washington. For a more remote camping spot without any amenities, this secluded viewpoint is the perfect location, surrounding visitors with local wildlife and the added scenery of blooming wildflowers. There’s no fee to visit the viewpoint, but also little in the way of facilities. Be sure to visit the actual rock west of the turnaround loop where most people stop.
