Short very steep hike to a historic fire lookout and panoramic 360 degree views of the Cascades, Mount Rainier and the Enchantments on a clear day

360 degree view of the Teanaway, Clockum, Kittitas Valley, Cle Elum, Mount Stuart range, and surrounds. 7 mile drive up the forest service road from Hwy 97, and a one mile steep hike to the look out. So worth it!

Easy Hike: This hike is 1.5 miles roundtrip and has 350 feet of elevation gain. This short and steep hike will lead you to a functioning fire lookout with panoramic views on a clear day of Stuart Range, Teanaway Ridge, Chelan and Entiat Mountains, and Mount Rainier. You’ll need a Northwest Forest Pass to access this hike. (You can use this link for a day pass if you don’t have an annual pass.)
