Make
sure you have enough water with you. Follow Pratt
Lake Trail #1007, that switchbacks through the woods gradually
climbing for about 1.2 mile and crossing several small creeks until
it meets with Granite Mountain Trail, that goes to the right. The
trail starts zigzaging steeply through the woods, at times coming
out onto the open slopes. In about 1.5 mile it crosses a creek,
enters open slope and continues up to the ridge for another mile.
Lookout can be seen from this point  .
The next 0.3 mile to the lookout the trail follows covered with
snow rocky ridge. Exercise caution when passing this part of the
trail. Magnificent view of the surrounding mountains and the valley
opens from the summit (5629 ft) .
