Trail Overview

Jump Off road is a 12-mile Forest Service road that crosses the Tieton River at Windy Point and climbs quickly up onto and follows along Divide Ridge to reach Jump Off Lookout. The first 3-4 miles were freshly graded and compacted but then the road devolved into the teeth-rattling basalt rock roads that are common in this area. Most of this road faces a Southern Exposure and is clear from snow by early June, but the remainder of the adjacent Divide Ridge road network and trail system is often snowbound until mid-July.

Easy trail up to the Jump Off Fire Lookout. This is the last fire lookout in Yakima county. It is maintained by a volunteer group. The trail is mainly chunks of basalt, so it is best to air down for comfort.
