Boney Mountain

Hours: 4 hours ( about 8 miles round trip)

Difficulty: Moderate, but the last 1 mile of scramble is tough

Pet-Friendly: Dogs are not allowed. (only trails near culture center allow dogs.)

Parking: Main entrance parking is good place to start. Plenty of parking is available.

It was hard to find park trail at first because my navigation is pointing to wrong location. I retracted and find out the park entrance. Make a left turn on Lynn road toward Sycamore, and drive thru Main entrance parking lot. From there, walk a quarter mile to Indian Culture Center. Take Satwiwa Loop trail at the Culter Center, and continue to Boney mountain trail across the open grassland. Rocky Boney mountain top from this grassland is so beautiful. When you see Boney Mountain trail sign that show 1.8 miles to Danielson Monument, it goes downward and to a lovely waterfall. In that Junction, turn right upwards to the monument. The monument and chimney are there, and head south about 1 mile to rocky Boney peak. The scramble after the monument is tough and steep. It is worth once you make to the top. It is cloudy, and I am not able to see the ocean. You can continue to the other peak areas, which have different rock formation.
