The lookout was a great place to stay the night. Serene and beautiful. We loved it... this place is in high demand for good reason. However, there are some things you MUST know... 1/ you NEED a high clearance vehicle to make it to the lookout, otherwise you'll have to park the vehicle as close as you can and hike the rest of the way up (we did this and i don't recommend it). 2/ The lookout has a dry sink so you must take water (potable and drinking water). 3/ take sleeping bags. the lookout has 2 beds, but you'll be more comfortable and warm if you wrap yourself in a sleeping bag. We would love to return and enjoy the lookout in the future!

Everything was just as expected. I stay at various Fire Lookouts yearly. This one is a shining star, with a fridge and microwave as a bonus. Not a ton of shade but it’s in a great spot to overlook the east Plumas all the way to Lassen Pk. Third year in a row and the Beckworth Ranger District has done a great job keeping her up. There’s a work day scheduled in August with new exterior paint coming. Highly recommended.

This was a summer stay we were so looking forward to this stay, but that didn’t get to happen! Whatever you do make sure to contact the Ranger Station and ‘ double check’ your codes given!!!
