Devils Peak Hike

Overview

Devils Peak is graced by one of the few forest lookouts not destroyed by the Forest Service in the 1960s and 70s, a period when the agency shifted to aerial surveillance. Today, the humble, historic lookout is maintained by volunteers and is open to the public. The generally easy hike makes an ideal destination for children, who will be fascinated by the lookout and its rustic furnishings. For a slightly longer hike with more attractions, start at tiny Kinzel Lake , on the northeast shoulder of Devils Peak. Though the long, bumpy access road will be trying for parents, it will only add to the adventure for kids. While on the road, the short Veda Lake Hike is a fine companion to the Devils Peak excursion, since both can be easily hiked in a day.
