This hike is rated INTERMEDIATE to DIFFICULT.
Join me as we hike up and around Lookout Mountain! We will hike into the preserve until we reach Lookout Mountain to an unmarked trail. This trail will lead us up the front of Lookout Mountain. Expect this portion of the trail to be steep, rocky, and in some area's narrow with steep drop offs. Once we are closer to the top, expect some scrambling. Once at the top, we'll enjoy the spectacular nighttime views for a bit before heading down. Coming down from the summit, we will take the backside of Lookout Mountain which is trail #150. We will then go counter-clockwise on trail #308 around the mountain until we reach the parking lot. Bring lots of water 1-2 liters and a snack. You will need to bring a flashlight and/or a headlamp as we'll be in the dark during this hike.
