Thank you for sharing! How’s the road to the parking? I stayed at Black Mountain last time. Also with a great view and awesome weather watching spot. You even have electricity, so except for water, kind of like glamping like even w WiFi. Still had a great time, love it! Winter hike to Sierra Butte last October(snow/micro spike a must) love it ❤ running down the list if fire look outs to go to!
The 5-mile dirt road was quite the off-road experience. If you have a high clearance car, then you'd be fine though. Awesome! I did a VLOG of Black Mountain Lookout as well. Enjoy your lookout adventures & thanks for your comment!
@@ADayinVLOG Is the road worse than the last 3 miles to the Black Mountain Lookout? I stayed there not too long ago. The last steep rocky section was rough on my small HRV. Thx.
@@changgong123 hard to say which was worse! 🤔 Both were pretty rough on the cars but that Black Mountain path was steeper while Hirz Mountain path was a couple of miles longer. Hope that helps! They’re both amazing lookout spots-super excited for you!
That's a tough call. Typically, minivans aren't known for high ground clearance--it might be risky. I'd recommend you call the number on your reservation to ask their opinion. They're very good at answering the phone. Have a great trip!
@@ForrestBicelooks epic! so bummed we ended up canceling last minute on non related issue. I would just keep an eye on the “smoke” maps as that seems to be on the edge of the (2024) Park fire fall out. Enjoy

Great video. Would minivan make it up the road to the gate? I have a reservation in August 2024. Thanks

@chrisdempsey3860 how'd it go? Or if you're going later in August, and haven't gone yet, have you found any new info?
