This was our second hike of the day. In the Hike of the Week website Craig Romano refers to this as The Lookout Tree Trail which is the rest of the Beaver Lake Trail beyond the washout after the lake. The TH is 2.3 miles south of the Beaver Lake TH. There is a small turnout at the TH with room for 2-3 cars but no obvious sign until you're out of your vehicle. The trail is 1.5 miles RT, loses 200ft at the onset and brings you to more beautiful cedars. One of these cedars is signed 15" in diameter. It is now dead but once served as a lookout near the former site of the old Sauk Ranger Station. There is a fir across the trail near the beginning, but otherwise the trail is in fairly good shape.
