    Tips

    Hiking

    Garnet Mountain is adorned by a fire lookout tower and offers splendid views of the surrounding countryside and distant mountain peaks. It's an interesting vantage point for Storm Castle, seen from a new perspective. Garnet Mountain is best hiked from June through October, as it can still hold snow in late spring.

    Mountain biking

    The final stretch to the summit can be a slog and may end up being more of a hike than a bike, however, the views more than make up for the effort. Also, the fire lookout at the summit is available for overnights so check recreation.gov if you plan to do some bikepacking.
