Description
Added by Rose Freeman
Hike up to Heybrook Lookout through a mossy forest to a lookout towering high above the trees to see Mount Index and other peaks in the Central Cascades!
To the trailhead, drive east on highway 2 from Everett. Just past milepost 37 you will see a gravel parking area on the left side of the highway.
Wander through a mossy forest that reminds me of Olympic National Park and traverse up 1.3 miles of switch backs to ascend heybrook lookout! Dogs are allowed on leash.
When we hiked here, the sun peaked through the fog to give us spectacular views of Mount Index. From the lookout, bring binoculars to also see Bridal Veil Falls tucked into the hillside!

Heybrook Lookout Reviews
This is a fairly short hike, I went with three of my friends. I didn’t take my dog however I’m sure he would have loved it! Definitely worth the trip, would hike again!
5.0
This is a fun little hike right off of the highway. Be aware that many cars are broken into at the trailhead because it is so easy to access.
4.0
It is an enchanting little walk in the winter (went in late December), just remember to bring those microspikes/crampons and marvel at how the forest transforms under feet of snow.
