Description

Lizard Head is a free standing column about 60 - 85 ' tall depending on the side.

Approach: 1/4 mile before the main Spires parking is a right fork up a steep old logging road. Park at the base (unless you have a proper 4 wheeling rig). Hike up the road a 100m. The formation is super obvious. No current trails. Head up the right side of the bushy drainage and then cut hard left about level with the formation. For Lounge Lizard and other routes on the south face, wrap around the formation counter clockwise. to the base. A cool and impressive piece of granite steep on all sides and excellent quality.
