Trail Overview
The Fork for Eight Mile Mesa A (#651A) is a short road to the right off of the main Eight Mile Mesa Road (#651). It leads you to the historic fire lookout tower site with views to the North towards Pagosa Springs and the San Juan mountains. The fire lookout tower is closed to the public, but the sweeping view from its base is worth the short drive up. There was one disturbed primitive campsite off to one side of the clearing. There is some cellular service from this spot depending upon the provider.
