Deer Ridge Lookout

Really lovely, very clean, great road all the way. In fact, beautiful drive up. Hiking trails right out the front steps. It's a long way from anything and I would 100% go back.

A dream of a place. Loved it.

Deer Ridge Lookout is an awesome place to stay. Great views, good hiking, peaceful. Stars and moon at night are fantastic. Many thanks for the USFS for making this available to rent.

Great place, easy access. Great to have access to rent the lookout.

Nice, newly updated lookout. Access is easy, Drive to base of tower. Be aware there is no woodburning stove, but a fire-ring is at ground level. There are 2 beds and a table. I saw 4 bears within 1/2 mi of the tower in 2 days. not much other big game sign however.

The lookout was spotless and well-equipped. The view and solitude were topnotch. We had a fantastic time. Thank you!

We loved this lookout. Had a few visitors and picked lots of huckleberries. Our old dog wasn't able to get up the steep stairs to the top, and he's too fat to carry all the way up there, so he had to sleep in the bed of the truck. The rope pull worked great to get our stuff up and down, thought it broke when we tried to pull up the cooler. Good thing we didn't try bringing the dog up in it!
