In
about 0.1 mile the trail reaches the junction with Old
Government Trail #733 that goes left. The main trail continues
on the right and start climbing up reaching the Barlow Point Lookout
in about 1.1 mile. 
On a clear day it offers a wonderful view of South Fork Sauk and South
Fork Stillaguamish valleys. It is a very pleasant short hike. |
