Evergreen Mountain Lookout
Central Cascades
updated 1 month ago
The trail to Evergreen Mountain Lookout is currently snow-free, with reports from October 3 indicating clear conditions. The road to the trailhead remains rough in its final stretch, with some significant washouts and deep ruts, making high clearance vehicles or careful driving necessary for the last half mile or so. However, several reports suggest that even sedans can make it with slow and cautious driving October 3. Fall colors are beginning to appear on the trail as of September 27, adding to the scenic beauty. The lookout tower itself is locked, but the trail is in good condition with only minor obstacles noted.
