Trail Overview
From Highway 20, this is the route to take to reach Buck Mountain/Fire lookout tower. The trail begins as a nice wide two-track that weaves and winds its way up through the Loup Loup National Forest. There is some erosion damage on the trail - ruts and ridges. The further up you travel, the more narrow and steep the trail becomes, prepping you for the Upper Buck Mountain. The views down the mountainside are beautiful and expansive. 2WD can make it, however, the Upper section may prove more challenging with only 2WD. Unmaintained (closed) in the winter and early spring months.
