Trail Overview

This is the north route to Cornwall Fire Lookout. This trail takes you from desert-like terrain to remnants of a forest fire from years past, to high alpine forest with great views. The trail is mostly gravel with a couple of washouts to cross, with one crossing needing high clearance 4x4. The trail gets tight towards the top with many downed trees, so a chainsaw is highly recommended. At the top is a 360-degree view of the coastal mountains in the distance, at 6,677 feet of elevation.
