What Guests Are Saying
The Mt. Baldy-Buckhorn Ridge lookout offers a unique experience with beautiful wildlife sightings and stunning views, particularly during sunsets and aurora events. Many guests appreciate the lookout's charm and the opportunity for solitude, despite some challenges like heavy winds and a need for maintenance. However, issues such as cleanliness, heavy trapdoor access, and uninvited visitors have been noted, suggesting improvements could enhance the overall experience.

Have been going up to Mt Baldy Buckhorn Range for almost 30 years and staying in the tower for 10 or 15 years.
Except for the awful fire year in Canada in 2018, both the day time views and the starry night views are impressive plus large and small animal sightings.
Accommodations are pleasant and the cook stove is a huge asset.
