Hornet Lookout

I enjoyed my stay. The views are exceptional at Hornet. The woodstove is a little smokey, bring your own mouse traps and bring a sheet of plastic to cover your stuff if it rains. In spite of the afore mentioned issues, I look forward to staying at Hornet again.

I finally got a reservation for Hornet and it was everything I had hoped for. What a beautiful drive and easy hike up! The lookout was clean, well stocked and the views were epic. The resident Collared mule deer made sure we felt welcome. While there were a couple of broken windows and the wood stove had a note saying it wasn't working, we saw all of the materials prepped there for upcoming restoration. And those items didn't affect our stay one bit. This lookout is such a gem. Stunning sunrise, sunset, and view forever in between. The cots were actually extremely comfortable as well!

The views were amazing but sleeping in the lookout while getting rained on was not so amazing. The fireplace also wouldn’t work without smoking up the lookout. So we were forced to put the fire out. Sadly we had to leave a night early due to all of this. It was quite the adventure & we can laugh about it now.

We had a great trip! We had blue bird days and clear nights. The fireplace was enough to warm up the cabin for sleeping. Plenty of firewood around and the people before us left some wood so we tried to do the same. We ended up having mice as residents and killed 8 with the traps supplied (tried with the slingshot). Make sure you hang up your food and garbage at night! Overall, a great spot though!

We simply loved our first very anticipated stay at Hornet Lookout! The views are endless, sunrises and sunsets, wildlife galore, hiking trails impeccable, even the aurora borealis came out. Our main issue stemmed from a massive rainstorm that blew through one evening which highlighted the roof is leaking significantly. We had 3 pots on the floor to capture leaks and moved the cots to the middle keep our bedding and is dry in the night. Time for new roofing it seems. Otherwise, we loved our time and will return!
