The hike to Lookout Mountain from High Prairie is
a moderate hike only because of the elevation gain
in the short mile and a quarter hike. Yet it is an
easy, family and pet friendly hike, which follows an old
abandoned road all the way.
The trail never gets very steep, however in early summer
it almost always has some snow in the shaded areas
and at the ridge line where the snow drifts deeply.
It is at the ridge line where this road meets the other
common trail to Lookout Mountain, which begins at
Gumjuwac Saddle or at highway 35 below.
This is the most gentle approach to Lookout Mountain,
and therefore makes the mountain available to most
hikers. On a clear day the views from the summit
are fantastic and so worth the hike, regardless of
which trail you chose to get there.
