Sharon's Bench reviews
7 Beautiful. Very touching.
Sharon was a woman who died from cancer. Her friends and family put the bench up in her honor
While walking on the trail yesterday, heard a rattling sound, OMG, a rattlesnake right beside me, be aware!
Beautiful scenery from this vantage point, but be warned, bees like to nest underneath the bench, they won't bother you if you leave them alone but there were definitely a few of them when I visited with my family in April. My wife and son couldn't stay for long due to all the buzzing around.so the real takeaway from this mountain is the STEEP challenging climb.
Not for beginners! Trail is steep all the way up, on top of that the trail is VERY rocky and can get muddy at some points (im talking ankle deep mud)
Overall.awesome trail but challenging.
Very steep climb at the beginning but don't let that dissuade you from the trail. Gotta take the white trail (right at the fork) to get there. Dog friendly.
Didn't even know this place had a name.it is a nice lookout though, while lookouts higher up are much nicer and have a better breeze in the summer
Amazing view! Bench even has a notebook to leave a calling card of when you were there. A great place for a hike and it's views are outstanding. I come here often. Parking can be strange but it is worth the time you will have.
