24aug2021 ~11:45 i left the Beaver Lake Trailhead .. headed East (probably) ~2.4 miles on Mountain Loop Highway to the Lookout Tree Trailhead. Shortly, after leaving Beaver Lake Trailhead, the paved MLH road became a "Gravel" road; a little rough and it had a few small potholes - though easily passable by all vehicles .. and imho this ~2.4 miles of Forest Service Road is reasonably good driving.
Its ~0.25 mile between Trailhead to the Lookout Tree. And the Out is descend; conversely, Back is ascend - of ~220 feet. The Trail is good condition, and shaded.
i noticed there's another "Giant" Tree directly across and probably ~20 ft from the Lookout Tree (the latter has the Sign-board "Western Red Cedar .. 15 FT DIA). Seeing these "Giant" Trees, i am lost for words .. suffice to say they are beautiful and awe-inspiring .. And the Forest was beautiful too!
Didn't see or notice any other person or wildlife during my ~30 minutes on the Lookout Tree Trail. Bonus - kinda nice 😆
Happy Trails Everyone! 😊
