Description
The Bee Rock Trail begins from a junction with the Old Zoo Trail and the Mineral Wells Trail. From here the trail heads northwest along a wide dirt road. After 1/4 of a mile of hiking, the trail becomes a narrower path that switchbacks its way to Bee Rock. After some steep climbing, you'll quickly arrive at the top of Bee Rock. Take some time to enjoy the view before returning along the same route. Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description.
