The popular Cyclone Lookout Trail is clear as of May 23. This is one of the few North Fork trails that opens all the way up in May, It is what passes for a moderate trail around here, being only about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) long with an elevation gain of a little over 1000 feet (305 m). The lookout, active during fire season, sits at just over 6000 feet (1830 m).
