Cyclone Lookout Trail No. 40 is open. The trail needed very little work — a couple of small trees in the way and some minor brushing out. The golden-mantled ground squirrels (aka “giant chipmunks”) that live around the base of the tower are already up and active.

The trail is a moderate 2.77 mile (4.5 km) hike to the top of Cyclone Peak at 6000 feet (1830 m).
