This weekend, Jake and I checked out Heybrook Lookout: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/heybrook-lookout. It's an old fire lookout tower off of Highway 2, just past the National Forest border.
The tower was a fun destination and the hike is only 2 miles round trip, but we had to earn every step there and back. At least, I felt like I had to earn every step; Jake loved the hike full of stairs.
Getting there:
1. Drive east on Highway 2.
2. Around mile marker 35 or 36 you'll see the Espresso Chalet with a yellow road sign. This means you're getting close so keep an eye out for the mile markers. If you want to try an address in your GPS, you can try this address for the Espresso Chalet: 50010 US-2, Gold Bar, WA 98251.
Just past mile marker just past mile marker 37, there is a gravel lot on the left (North) side of the road.
Driving from Everett, follow Highway 2 37.5 miles to the trailhead just past mile marker 37 and the sign for Entering The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The gravel parking area is on the north side of the highway. There are no toilets.
