This route take you to the top of Baseline Mountain which is the home to an active fire lookout tower and then it traverses to the original Baseline fire lookout which was a 10' x 10' house built in the 1920's by the Canadian Forest Service and was in use till the 1940's. The current tower is still in use and staffed usually from May to October every summer. This route is in the foothills of the rocky mountains and was a significant fire lookout location for Alberta.
