About

The Eagle Pass Lookout is one of the region’s most loved alpine hikes. The trail contours east around the south slopes below the mountain, climbing quickly up into alpine. Continue to follow the obvious line toward the summit. The final climb to the site of the historic Dominion Fire Lookout remains is a steep and narrow scramble with exposure. Route finding increases with lingering snow; best in mid-summer to avoid snow and/or wet conditions. A second rigorous trail to Twin Lakes (1.7 km one-way) branches east at the bridge with side routes to additional viewpoints.
