Phoenix Ridge to the Big Wind Gap
Hike the park trails up to Phoenix Ridge, and then follow the ridge up and over the big hill to get to the Big Wind Gap. We'll return the same way to Phoenix Ridge and hike back down the park trails to finish.
This hike is not currently scheduled
We'll hike up the park trails to Phoenix Ridge, and then follow the ridge up and over the big hill to get to the ‘Big Wind Gap’ and on to a good loop trail in that area.
On the way back, we'll head down early along the South Route in the park area, passing the Pagoda on the Rock and finishing at the re-opened South Gate of the park.
We're keeping an eye on this area for a chance to do a loop version instead of an out-and-back. Sign up and we’ll give you updates about that.
Hike plan
- Hike up the park trails to Phoenix Ridge
- Follow the ridgeline trail to the ‘Big Wind Gap’
Do a loop hike that passes the tablet that marks the junction of Haidian, Changping, and Mentougou Districts(On advice from trail experts, this part may be a little too far. We'll see how it goes.)- Hike back over the big hill by the wind gap, and then down the 'South Route' track of the park area.
