Description

Sunny, about a 10 minute hike beneath the lodges. Some routes will seep for about a day after a rain or snow melt.

Getting There

Park at the lodges and walk down the parking lot to the left towards the woods (down on off roader trail for a short bit until you see a climber access trail with sign on your right and white blazes.) Hike Gully down hill until it levels out a bit and you see the towers cliff on the left from the climbers trail. To reach the lodges cliff, follow the climber trail to where you can see the towers crag on the left and look right for a string of pink flags to the right that will lead you to the start of the Lodges Crag.

Note: When you reach Towers wall, the trail to Lodges Wall immediately breaks off to the Right, marked by pink flagging. These two trails (Lodges and Lower Lodges) are very easily confused. Lower Lodges has brown sign and heads downhill while Lodges is marked by pink flagging and stays on the same level as Towers.
