Family Friendly This is an easy, very rewarding route. If the lookout is manned and they are not too busy tracking a fire, you can make a new friend and learn about the area from the lookout resident.

Description

Drive to the end of Squaw Creek Road and park it! It is time to take the whole family out for a very short hike to Heaven's Gate Lookout. The trail climbs gently up and around the top of the mountain and past a heli-pad to a neat old lookout that is still in service during the fire season each year.
