**HIKING BEACON FIRE TOWER & RAINBOW FALLS**
The Casino, Fire Tower, Scofield Ridge, Lambs Hill, and Rainbow Falls Loop is a **challenging 6.8-mile loop** trail in Mount Beacon Park, New York, offering significant elevation gain (around **2,286 ft**), panoramic views from the fire tower, and scenic features like casino ruins and Rainbow Falls. Hikers should download offline maps due to poor cell reception and be prepared for steep sections, rocky terrain, and potential muddy conditions, especially after rain. Expect **5.5 to 6 hours** to complete the hike with the lunches & other mini-breaks. Please **bring lunch/sandwich**. We will have picnic lunch in the midway during the hike.
