We camped at Bear Pot, named for bears who would hang out in the boggy pond near by. That's also the trailhead. We made it past the cabin, missed the mine adit mentioned in the guidebook, and finally the very easy scramble to the summit. It's strange there is no evidence of trail to the lookout site, with some lumber, eyelets and concrete blocks the only human markings on the landscape a couple tenths of a mile above the trail. We found the mine adit on the way back, an easier direction to notice it below the trail, but ya gotta look sharp.
