Mills Peak - FS 12E74

The trail kicks off at the intersection of 721 Church Meadow Road, starting with an easy, gradual climb. As you pass through the towering fir forest, the terrain becomes a bit more difficult, requiring slower travel for low-clearance vehicles. Along the way, you'll catch intermittent views of nearby lakes and spot one or two dispersed campsites, though most of the clearings are just pullouts without views. At the summit, the trail opens up to a turnaround loop offering beautiful panoramic views, access to mountain bike trails, an old fire lookout tower perched on the rocks, and Verizon cell service.
