Overview

Not just another off-road trail, Butler Peak - 2N13B recently reopened after a forest fire ravaged the area. The trail has been closed for roughly 9 years and has been hiding one of the best views in all of the San Bernardino National Forest. This easy offroad trail takes you up to the fire lookout tower of Butler Peak which upon arriving at the top you have the opportunity to see as far as the eye can see in every direction. You can easily see Calico Mountains to the north, Big Bear Lake to the east, Riverside and Orange County to the south, and Lake Arrowhead and Mountain High to the west. To try and describe the beauty of the view is impossible, thus make plans and enjoy the stunning scenic views of Butler Peak Fire Tower.
