Turn right (NE) for a short distance until you start the seven switchbacks. At the top switchback, the trail climbs steadily to the ridge line that leads to the summit. Most all of this trail skirts a burn area from 1994. Once on the summit, visit the Fire Lookout for views that give this mountain its name.
