The trail climbs directly to the lookout on Hyde Mountain. The lookout is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as exemplifying CCC era Construction. The latter third of the trail is steep and difficult. A lookout is normally on duty during May, June, and July. Visitors are always welcome. The trail branches about 0.25 miles south of the lookout, descending to the west for about 0.8 miles. It joins the Brown Springs Trail #5 just northeast of the saddle between Hyde Mountain and Pinetop Mountain.

This can be a hot, difficult climb. Take frequent breaks and carry plenty of drinking water. None is available on the trail or at the lookout on Hyde Mountain. With a total elevation change of about 1,000 feet over its 2 mile length, this trail may be considered difficult.
