From the lookout, views on a clear day include Glacier Peak, Mt. Rainier, and a 360 degree vista of surrounding peaks. The trail is noted for wildflowers, scenery, and sighting of wildlife. Evergreen Mountain was used during wartime as an aircraft warning station.
This trail follows the No. 6554 road with views of the Beckler river valley below. After reaching the trailhead, the trail climbs through the old Evergreen Mountain Burn of 1967 before reaching the tall timber of old-growth fir and hemlock that leads to the lookout.

The lookout was built in 1935 as a fire watch tower and now is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Wild flowers are abundant at the lookout and huckleberries flourish in season.
