The Lookout Trail (faint markings)

The Lookout Trail covers just two-tenths of a mile but marks itself faintly enough that hikers should stay alert for blazes or cairns. Short scrambles to viewpoints often go lightly maintained, and this appears to be one of them. At 0.3 kilometers, it's a quick spur worth the effort if you're already nearby and conditions are clear.
