Description

Start on 4th of July Trail off of Icicle Road. 
climb it till it meets the Icicle Ridge trail and take a right or turn East. Follow that all the way to the Lookout above Leavenworth. This route does include that out and back. Than down Icicle Ridge trail to the Trail Head lot by Leavenworth. 

Steven Gnam suggests an out and back to the Fourth of July Creek Lookout: "A 5.4-mile, 4700-foot ascent of the Fourth of July Creek Trail for great views of the Stuart Range from the historic Icicle Ridge lookout site. Reaching the lookout site requires a short rock scramble on the south aspect of the highest granite block. FKT is for the roundtrip starting at the 4th of July TH on Icicle Road."
