A beautiful view! Make sure the follow out the written instructions on recreation.gov to get to the trail head. Both the google and Apple Maps link took you to the wrong stop.

The hike in carrying water is tough, not enjoyable for anyone with fitness issues. The spring is worth finding, extra water makes a difference. The lookout is full of charm and well stocked. We were first there for fire season and smoke blocked the views but the next year the sky was unobstructed and the views and stars at night were amazing. Take care of this lookout, it is special.

Beautiful, well-maintained lookout. It is QUITE a hike to make in the middle of summer though, especially since you have to pack in all your own water. However, would highly recommend; fantastic views.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
