About Double Arrow Lookout

The Double Arrow Lookout offers guests a chance to see the Seeley valley and the adjacent Swan Mountains from a different and unique vantage point, high above the hillside. The tower contains a few modern amenities, including electricity, but allows guests to personalize their visits with their own supplies. A variety of recreational opportunities exist in the surrounding mountains, but the view is usually what attracts people to the tower.

We had a great time in the lookout. The weather failed to cooperate and we had cloudy skies, I had big plans for night sky photography... But the sunrise was stupendous.
