Though it’s only two miles in each direction, the hike is quite steep. You’ll work up a sweat, but when you get to the summit, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world.

You’ll also find a picturesque fire lookout tower and cabin. Keep in mind that they are still in use and should be treated as such.
