Steep but short (1.5 mile) hike leads to the fire lookout tower. The 143 stair climb to the lookout reward you with a 100 mile panoramic view.
Open mid-May to October 1 Bring plenty of water. Restrooms at the base of tower.
This is a short steep hike that has a tremendous payoff at the top. The trail starts in lush forest with lots of flowers, depending on the time of year, but we love the shady start. At the top you'll want to take a breather before climbing the stairs-while very safe it can still frighten some kids. The fire look out at the top is a real treat-you must see this place before it passes-it is like stepping back in time. The view is awesome!
