Tripod Peak Trail would be a good day hike in conjunction with Joe's Creek Trail and the West Mountain Trail. From the intersection of the Joe's Creek Trail and the West Mountain Trail, turn north on the West Mountain Trail and travel approximately 0.4 miles to the well-signed intersection to Tripod Peak.
This trail could also be done as a longer day hike starting at the southern end of the West Mountain Trail. It is approximately 5.5 miles from the southern trailhead of West Mountain Trail to the trailhead for Tripod Peak.
The Tripod Peak trail starts as a well-signed intersection with the West Mountain Trail. It appears to be an old road, which climbs steeply between huge granite outcroppings to the lookout in 0.4 miles.
