Hiking
It's hard to beat the view from the top of Beam Rocks. The best part is that it's accessible from a variety of different trails. You can do a quick out and back if you only have a short time, or take one of the many longer trails in the area and make it a day hike.

Hiking
Beam Rocks is a sandstone outcrop that rises about 90 feet above the surrounding forest. The rocks are a popular spot for day hikers and climbers. There is access via a short side trail here, but this is also a good spot to pause for a view of the rocks if you prefer to stay on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.
