Indiana mountains

"Excellent and challenging hike over hill and dale to the summit and back in very humid weather. Thankfully, the bugs with only a minor annoyance. Definitely one the best peak hikes in Indiana. Heard an array of birds and saw many types of colorful and intreating mushrooms along the route. Also saw the ruins of the former fire lookout along the way. " — rick-brown • Jun 30, 2025

"We completed this peak as part of our hike to the Pinnacle. This is a very steep climb to the old fire tower ruins, especially on the return trip. It appears the wildfire spotter would use a phone on a wood pole to contact emergency responders. See data from the Pinnacle for elevation gain, length, etc." — rick-brown • Jun 30, 2025

"Stopped at this hill in Southwestway Park in suburban Indianapolis. Light spritz rain and humid weather. Very nice, but somewhat confusing trails to the summit. No view(s) due to the tree canopy. " — rick-brown • Aug 15, 2024

"Beautifully restored (in 2019) fire lookout in Indiana's oldest state park. Trees have continued to grow even though town is no longer used and are now higher than the fire tower in places. " — rick-brown • Aug 15, 2024

"Ran pretty much the perimeter of the whole state park (inside the National Park) starting with Trail 2 and adding on as I went. Running 8 miles in sand 🫠 this park has it all, woods, snow, sand, bridges, marshes, beaches, view of the Chicago skyline. A pleasant surprise. " — wiweasel • Mar 1, 2024
