“An extremely rocky ascent to a great viewpoint.”

— David Duke
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

I leave my bike at the bottom, but the view at the top is worth the trip. It is extremely rocky. If you zoom in you can see the fire lookout tower remains that have been re-purposed as a platform for an excellent viewpoint. There is an area underneath for shelter and a nice fire pit built right next to it.
