A bit after Goosehead Rock, just across from the Matterhorn, before crossing Willow Canyon and close to the General Hitchcock Highway is Lizard Rock - it is visible from many different locations in the Santa Catalina Mountains, but I rarely hear anyone mention it...

From the parking pullout we take an obvious trail that leads past a campsite and up a sandy/rocky path to a fantastic, but short, rocky ridge to the top. This is a short hike - it is windy at the top - we settle in - alone - to enjoy the views and wait for the cloudy sunset -
