Mule Mountain is a broad, sprawling summit (5706 feet asl) with extensive beargrass prairies on the south-facing slopes, several cirque valleys, and some interesting Old Cascade lava outcrops. A trail leads from Blair Lake on the northwest, around the southeast side of Mule Mountain's main peak, past an old lookout site at Spring Prairie to the south, and on to the east into the Waldo Lake Wilderness. Two lakes -- Blair Lake and Devils Lake -- occupy basins on the west and east of Mule Mountain, and a pair of smaller ponds lie to the south. There was never a lookout tower on Mule Mountain's summit, but a tower and cabin was built on a subsidiary summit in 1930, and moved to another high point on the mountain, near a large beargrass meadow called Spring Prairie, in 1953. The lookout was abandoned in 1968 and nothing remains today.
