Leek Spring Hill

The road to the summit, located within the Eldorado National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called Leek Spring Hill Road. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point.

At the summit there’s a lookout tower. It is usually staffed during the fire season. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Thunderstorm activity can quickly change unpaved roads to four-wheel-drive condition or make them impassable. The expansive views in all directions from the lookout are breathtaking, including Pyramid Peak and the Crystal Range (N), Thimble Peak and Round Top (E) and Mokelumne Peak (S).
