Shield's Climb

Overview

John C. Shields Park (Minnehaha Rocks) is better know as a rock climbing destination, but this climb up an access road will take you to the base of Yo-Yo and from there to the top of Beacon. Don't be fooled by the "road" aspect, this is a more rigorous climb and certainly not the easiest route to Beacon. While the terrain is moderately technical the challenge will be in the steeper sections.<br><br>Shields Park's advantage is the fact that it's the only trailhead at Camp Sekani & Beacon that has restrooms. The trail leaves from the east side of the parking lot.<br><br>Can be ridden in either direction. Also frequented by many non-biking users.
