Abbey's Way Trail #151

Abbey's Way leaves Forest Road (FR) 387 to the northeast and heads towards a mountain meadow, which was part of an old homestead. The trail then climbs directly up the pine and Douglas fir-covered slopes of Aztec Peak towards the lookout tower.

It includes some switchbacks near the top. The trail wraps around the peak and meets FR 487 just east of the top of the peak.

Attractions:

• The trail is surrounded by a beautiful mixed-conifer forest.
• Edward Abbey (1927-1989) an environmental writer,  worked for two seasons as a lookout at Aztec Peak and made reference to it in one of his books.
