==Overview==
Paleto Forest, situated south of Paleto Bay and northwest of Mount Chiliad, encompasses a rural expanse punctuated by coniferous trees, notably pine. The Great Ocean Highway traverses this scenic woodland, with the Aerial Tramway station serving as a gateway to Mount Chiliad's peak. Despite the lumber industry's presence at the Paleto Forest Sawmill, wildlife thrives, with deer, cougars, coyotes, and occasional boars inhabiting the area. The forest teems with activity, as deer graze near rivers and woodpeckers echo through the trees, while cars frequent the nearby roads connecting to Paleto Bay.
The Paleto Forest Sawmill, nestled within the forest's bounds, serves as a vital economic asset to the region, where timber is harvested for profit. The complex comprises a large red building, shacks, and conveyor belts, with stacks of lumber dotting the site. Throughout the day, workers can be seen operating within the mill, illuminated by spotlights during nighttime surveillance. 
Beyond its natural beauty and economic significance, the Paleto Forest also serves as a haven for travelers seeking respite. Bayview Lodge, nestled along Procopio Promenade, offers a warm welcome to weary adventurers, providing lodging, dining, and shopping amenities. As visitors immerse themselves in the forest's serene ambiance, they find solace in the lodge's rustic charm, enjoying hearty meals and cozy accommodations amidst the towering pines
Hunter Steele, a seasoned Hunting Instructor, offers invaluable mentorship to aspiring hunters at the lodge, imparting essential skills and ethical principles for responsible hunting practices in the mountainous terrain surrounding Los Santos. With a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship, Steele fosters a community of conscientious hunters dedicated to preserving the delicate ecosystem of the Paleto Forest.
