Itinerary description
This is a loop hike in the remote Bull of the Woods wilderness area. The main goal is the fire lookout on top of the Bull of the Woods mountain, from which on a clear day you can enjoy a fantastic 360 view of the cascades: Mt Hood to the Northeast, Mt Jefferson to the Southeast and Mt Washington and Three Finger Jack to the South. There are also two small pretty lakes along the way and a lot of huckleberries and rhododendrons, both of which require the appropriate season to be fully appreciated -- early fall and late spring respectively. Oh, lets not forget, the trail passes through an old growth forest.
