Hiking
This fire lookout was made in 1934 and is one of the three remaining fire lookouts in the Gifford Pinchot National Area. This fire lookout, perched atop Burley Mountain, provides an excellent view of four inactive volcanoes: Adams, Rainier, Saint Helens, and Hood. To get there, you will use some popular trails and a closed forest road, offering a mix of forested areas, open meadows, and rocky sections. It includes a steady ascent with some switchbacks as you approach the summit.
