Lookout Trail Guide

The hikes to the lookouts are catagorized as:

   Easy, a hike shorter than 3 miles or no significant elevation gain;

   Moderate, a hike of 3 to 6 miles or with some elevation gain, some hiking experience helpful;

   Hard, a hike of 6-10 miles or with significant elevation gain, some hiking experience necessary;

   Difficult, a hike longer than 10 miles or with major elevation gain, only for the experienced hiker in one day.

Lookout Information

The "information window" for each lookout has the following information:

    (1) lookout name and year built,
    (2) lookout latitude, longitude and elevation,
    (3) trail to lookout, trailhead elevation, trail distance and elevation gain,
    (4) Web page, maps and notes.

This should provide sufficient information to locate the lookout and with the other Websites, linked in the list, and books should provide enough informaton to determine if you want to find it.
