Heybrook lookout trail leaves from the small turnout on the side of Highway 2. It starts by climbing a small distance over 2 or three switchbacks. There is evidence of current trail work going on here. Most likely thanks to our friends over at WTA. They build and maintain many of the trails in the great state of Washington. Follow the link to donate some time or money for the cause.
After climbing a 200 – 300 feet Heybrook lookout trail levels off. It then follows a gentle ridge for another half mile to Heybrook lookout tower. Until reaching the tower the trail is in heavy woods.
