First of all do not attempt the drive in winter months. Parts of the one lane dirt road were covered in ice from melted snow which re-froze. You might possibly slide sideways of the road. Once you park at the gate there is a less than one half mile hike to the lookout with great views in every direction.

There are several ways to get to the top of Mount Union. On this day in August we started near Poacher's Row Road (off Walker Road) and took Dandrea Trail # 285 and then Yankee Doodle Trail #284 to the top.
It's a good hike, probably two miles to the top with an elevation gain of over 1,000 ft. and in the tower it's about at 8,000 ft. During fire season you can climb up in the fire observation tower and John will give you a great tour.
The 360 degree views are amazing and one can see well over 100 miles.
I would suggest that hikers wear good hiking boots with good soles as the trail is quite rocky. Saw a variety of wildlife and spotted a cave just off the trail. Mostly shady and a great cool breeze on the summit.

There are few places in this world that strike an awe in me and this is one. According to the national register of historic lookouts "Atop a nearly 8,000’ peak stands Mount Union Lookout on the Prescott National Forest. The 30’ Aermotor Mc-24 tower with a modified L-4 cab was built in 1933 and remains in active service.". You'll need preferably a four-wheel drive to get up there to the gate and then walk about a mile up a rough gravel road. The lookout is manned during the fire season by gentle John (who is pleased to welcome you and explain all you are seeing). Believe me it is worth visiting but one must be in good shape for the trek and the climb up to the observation tower.

In Prescott, off Hwy-69 take Walker Road (near Costco) south 10.5 miles to Poacher's Road. Turn left (east) driving past a park on the left, some homes/cabins about .3 mile to the end of the line where you will find Trail 285. There isn't much parking so on a busy day you may have to backtrack to Walker road to park.
Take this trail, quite rocky in places, mostly east/southeast about two miles, gaining about 1,000 ft in elevation. You will come to a gate and the intersection with Trail 284 - turn right (south) and you will soon see the lookout tower.
By the way, as you ascend Trail 285 there is a cave off to the left.
