This trail offers some of the best nonstop views of Skilak Lake country as it passes through an area of burnt forest to a scenic overlook. The hike is a consistent but very gradual climb to the high lookout where hikers will enjoy 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. The trail is fairly exposed and can be cold and windy so come prepared with jackets. There is a lot of wildlife in this area, including bears, so be cautious.
