Winchester Mountain Overlook


Enjoy views of the Northern Picket Range and Canadian Peaks from Winchester Mountain Lookout. It was built in 1935 and is maintained by Mt. Baker Hiking Club volunteers. Steep snowfields on the Winchester Mountain Trail usually require an ice axe well into July. Cross these steep snow slopes with caution. The Twin Lakes Road may not be drivable to the Winchester Mountain Trailhead. In this case, parking is at the Tomyhoi Lake Trailhead, adding 2 miles to the hike.
