We try to do this hike at least once a year. the hike is moderate/easy and the 360 view at the top of the fire lookout is awesome.

This was an enjoyable hike for our group. After reaching the lookout tower we took a short rest and then climbed the tower. It is a beautiful view and well worth the extra effort. The ranger at the top is fun to talk to and was friendly and knowledgable.

The history in that little house is so real and exciting because of the gentleman that... More
