Overview
A system of trails, now mainly used by mountain bikers, extends along Surveyors Ridge past Lookout Mountain . Much of the forest here has suffered from disease, and the trails require annual logging out, much of it done by the very active 44 Trails group. The north section of the Lookout Mountain Trail takes you along Eightmile Creek to the lush expanse of Eightmile Meadow . You can make a loop by taking the northern part of the Fifteenmile Trail past Eightmile Point and then descending to hike a little-traveled section of the Bennett Pass Road to rejoin the Lookout Mountain Trail. You’ll be skirting the Badger Creek Wilderness and are only likely to encounter a few mountain bikers. Late spring and early summer are fine times to visit as a display of wildflowers brightens up the trail verge in those months.
