What a gem! Our visit was short but we'll definitely plan to return to this mountain top perch. A much needed break from the rush of life to be able to sit outside watching the stars and the moonrise, enjoying the quiet and serenity. Woke before dawn so as to be sure and catch every moment of the rising sun, Mt. Shasta illuminated in the distance, rising just above the clouds. A morning walk of the labyrinth followed by breakfast enjoyed outside on the catwalk with the warm sun on our backs, it all made for a great way to welcome the day! Great to take time and read the guest book. Plenty of supplies were on hand, no reason not to leave this place sparkling for the next visitors. If we don't abuse it, they'll continue to let us use it! Thank you Forest Service for sharing these lookouts!

Very scenic view and comfortable space in the cabin. Unfortunately we were forced to evacuate because of the Caldwell fire, so we couldn't spend the night.

Beautiful view of the surrounding forest and mountain. Clean lookout tower and restroom. Wish we could have had a camp fire. No refrigerator or stove. Had a great time. Will do it again.

It started snowing as we arrived at the lookout. This was cool to watch and made the lookout seem like a palace in a fairyland. The place was clean and neat. The best part was the piles of short cut firewood both inside the lookout and outside on the porch. The little wood stove kept us warm all night. Mt. Shasta came out from the clouds for a few minutes the next morning for a short view of that massive white pile of vanilla ice cream.
Loved our time at the lookout but the wife chose to spend the next night at a campsite at a lower elevation.
Thank you for another great experience.
