Description
Drive to the end of Squaw Creek Road and park it! It is time to take the whole family out for a very short hike to Heaven's Gate Lookout. The trail climbs gently up and around the top of the mountain and past a heli-pad to a neat old lookout that is still in service during the fire season each year.
