This trail follows the #6554 road with views of the Beckler river valley below. After reaching the trailhead, the trail climbs through the old Evergreen Mountain Burn of 1967 before reaching the tall timber of old-growth fir and hemlock that leads to the lookout. From the lookout, enjoy a 360 degree vista of surrounding peaks, and on a clear day the view includes Glacier Peak and Mt. Rainier. The lookout was built in 1935 as a fire watch tower and now is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Wild flowers are abundant at the lookout and huckleberries flourish in season.
