The Barklow Mountain Trail follows a ridge to the location of an old fire lookout on the highest point of Barklow Mountain, located at 3,579 feet in elevation within the Copper Salmon Wilderness. The lookout offers one of the premier views of the Siskiyou Mountains. Part of the trail continues along the north ridge of Barklow Mountain to the site of an old Forest Service shelter, which has not been used for many years.
