Klone Peak Lookout Site

Built in 1931, Klone was an L-5 cab built at the highest point of Klone.

On September 18, 1934 panorama photos taken at 14+3 feet. We even have a photo of the camera man taking the pictures.

In 1963 the cab was destroyed.

Lookout Elevation: 6,820 feet

Klone Peak Lookout in 1934

There are many access points, I do not have a suggestion for this hike. I came in from Maverick Saddle, something like 12 hiking miles distant. I believe there are shorter trails out of the Entiat Valley. Just follow trails to the summit, no issues. The trail near the summit is interesting as it was used as a firebreak for some nearby fire. For long sections adjacent to the trail, a 30-foot fire break was cleared. Brush was removed and all trees were limbed up 10 feet. The upper Mad River Trails have a seasonal closure in late spring/early summer to everyone but hikers. This is the best time to visit.
