Here is the out and back route https://caltopo.com/m/TPDE. We'll go to the lookout on the way out and bypass it on the way back. There should be golden larches at our endpoint, a little past the Iron Bear trail intersection.  There will probably be larches along our way too. I'll be scouting this soon and will be writing a detailed trip report about what you can expect on the hike.
