Description:
After the drive from LCC, we will start and end at Lookout Dam parking Lot off of Boundary Road (not the boat ramp parking lot). We will have views of the lakes, Diamond peak, the hike will be in mixed forest and Oak savanna. The leader's family have built trails on their 825 acre property over the years and would like to share them with you. While many of you have hiked trails right off of highway 58, there is more to explore across the reservoir on Butte Disappointment. If you want to gain a perspective on this area, come on this hike.
