#1028 Berray Mountain West Trailhead
Berray Mountain West Trail #1028 intersects Berray Mountain Trail #967 approximately ½ mile from the historic Berray Mountain lookout tower. This trail enables users the ability to reach the summit of Berray Mountain in a shorter distance than the traditional route (Berray Mountain Trail #967). This trail is mostly used by hikers since the road to the trail is long and not conducive to travel with a horse trailer. Spectacular views of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness and Scotchman Peaks Recommend Wilderness Area can be seen from the peak. The lookout was built in 1965 and remained staffed for the purpose of fire detection until 1973. Restoration efforts on the lookout tower are currently underway in the hopes of preserving the tower.
*Please note that Road 2272, access to Berray Mountain Trail 1028 trailhead, is closed to motorized vehicles at mile post 3.0-6.2. This adds an additional 3.2 miles of non-motorized travel to reach the trailhead, in addition to the 1.6-mile hike to reach Berray Mtn. Lookout. Use of non-motorized and non-electric bikes permitted.
