Tahoe National Forest Hiking
Martis Peak Lookout


Mileage: 4 miles one way
Elevation: 7000'-8650'
Difficulty: Moderate
Type of Route: Dirt Road
Use Level: Heavy
Topographic Map: Martis Peak Quad
Access: Take Highway 267 south from Truckee. Turn left 1/2 mile south of Brockway Summit on a dirt road. Park here.
Description: The ride is a steady climb on a good dirt road with a rewarding 360 degree panoramic view at the top from the old fire lookout. Follow the main road which is marked with orange diamonds (the road serves as a snowmobile and popular cross country skiing route, and these markers, often high in the tree, serve to guide them during the winter months).
