Trail Overview

This decently maintained gravel road will take you up to the beautiful views at Greenstone Mountain Fire Lookout among many other offroad and multi-user recreational trails throughout the area. The lower section will have more traffic as there are a number of downhill mountain biking trails in the area. There are a number of small camping areas along the road where you could set up and take in a nice view and escape reality. The last 300m up to the fire lookout are steep, rocky and difficult for a new/unexperienced off roader, but the view point may be worth the push to the top.

Difficulty

most of the route is fairly easy but the last section to reach the incredible views are more challenging as it is steep and rocky/bumpy and could be off camber if you pick the wrong lines..

Great trail to drive on the way up, last 100 metres or so can be challenging 4wheel drive definitely recommend for the last bit, don’t get confused with the radio tower on the left if you look up the hill on the right you will see the lookout.

most of the trail can be done in 2wd and is mostly washoards going up. Its not until the last 50 - 100 yards that it gets rocky, but I'd probably call it a hard 4/10.
