Naked Rock Path Hike

Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

@ Naked Rock Picnic Area

Join us for a short hike at Naked Rock. Our objective will be a lofty viewpoint overlooking the upper reaches of Lucky Peak Reservoir. Though the path is steep and somewhat loose in spots, it is easily manageable with trekking poles. Our total mileage will probably be about a mile.

We will meet at the Naked Rock Picnic Area along Arrowrock Road at 4:00 PM. To reach this site, travel three or four miles along Arrowrock Road, passing the Cervidae Peak trailhead en route. The picnic area is on the right side of the road and is well-signed.

See you there!
