About this place
Added by Rose Freeman
Hike up to Heybrook Lookout through a mossy forest to a lookout towering high above the trees to see Mount Index and other peaks in the Central Cascades!
To the trailhead, drive east on highway 2 from Everett. Just past milepost 37 you will see a gravel parking area on the left side of the highway.
Wander through a mossy forest that reminds me of Olympic National Park and traverse up 1.3 miles of switch backs to ascend heybrook lookout! Dogs are allowed on leash.
When we hiked here, the sun peaked through the fog to give us spectacular views of Mount Index. From the lookout, bring binoculars to also see Bridal Veil Falls tucked into the hillside!

Good winter hike
Went in February, and it was fantastic. Would recommend. Icy in some spots but made it fine with just my boots.

Quick intense trek with a worthy view
Takes about 30 minutes assuming a strong pace. Highly recommended!
