    Tips

    Running

    Mantis Peak Lookout is the spot of a fire lookout built in 1914. There are several routes up to the top and are definitely worth the effort for the great views from the lookout.

    Cycling

    Mantis Peak is at an elevation of 8,700 feet, so the ride up can get riders quite winded at this elevation. Staying hydrated is important. The Mantis Peak Lookout is here with the best view, but continue on the Mantis Peak Summit Path, just about 150 feet east, where the technical summit sits.
