Description
This trail begins at Ochoco Ranger Station and travels up the northeast side of Lookout Mountain. From both Duncan Butte and the top of Lookout Mountain there are terrific views of the Cascade Range. In the spring there is an abundance of wildflowers in the open meadows. Wildlife on the mountain includes wild horses, elk, deer, and pileated woodpeckers. Lookout Mountain is managed as a semi-primitive area. No motorized vehicle access is permitted during summer. Water is scarce so be sure to carry enough for your entire trip. Do not explore the mine or mine tailing areas due to hazards in buildings.
