Lookout Mountain #1

20 February 1989

Improvement of the Lookout #1 route.

Take the PCT south from the parking lot located approximately one mile south of the junction of Highways 371 and 74. Cross Hwy 74 and find a gate, follow the PCT south over the ridge leading north from the summit of Lookout Mountain. Continue south on the PCT from this ridge for about one third mile until the summit of Lookout again comes into view to the southeast. Start looking for a ducked fuelbreak - approximately one tenth of a mile from where one can again see the summit of Lookout. Follow a series of fuelbreaks to the summit of Lookout. They are ducked at the junctions. The ducks are possibly the work of the San Diego HPS, as they have often signed-in on this peak. We did some brushing to make the route more visible and easier. The distance is approximately 1 mile from cars to the peak.
