The Forest Service says this trail is 3 miles, but it feels like 5 as you climb and climb. It’s worth it, though, when you reach the top and are rewarded with panoramic views. From late spring to fall you can even visit the top of the lookout and chat with the fire lookout who is stationed there. This trail connects to Antoine #304 and Southside #308.
