After wrapping up Winston Ridge earlier in the day, I had time to revisit Vetter. I formed a loop by passing through Charlton Flats Picnic Area and picking up the Silver Moccasin Trail. The Silver Moccasin quickly split off to the Vetter Mountain Trail (the same classic trail I took over 20 years ago). Unfortunately, the old trail suffered quite a bit of fire damage and has yet to be totally cleared. This made it a rather adventurous hike by climbing over downed trees. Once reaching the peak, I was able to see the new fire lookout for the first time. From there, I continued with the loop by taking the fire lookout access road all the way back to Angeles Crest Highway.
