(4)

A short climb up to a lookout over Lake Coleridge and its hydro intake system, out in the high country. The gravel and dirt road is well maintained and easy going, though it can get a bit bumpy in places.

The payoff is at the top, with good views out across the lake. A nice little spot to pull up for lunch. Bring the fishing gear and a picnic, go for a swim, or just stretch your legs and take in the scenery. A worthwhile side trip.
