Family Friendly The Lookout! An short, easily accessible trail with views that make it well worth the visit.

Description

This easily accessible trail features moss-covered trees, ferns galore, and a good mixed-grade trail resulting in a spectacular lookout tower with amazing views of Mt. Index, Persis, and Philadelphia along with Bridal Veil Falls and many other natural beauties. A great place to take your friends and family and a wonderful introduction to typical cascade forests.
