It was a great stay! The lookout was fully outfitted with cookware and the propane stove and heater (after getting the pilot light on) made the stay cozy. Beds were comfy and the views were amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

Paradise. Heaven on Earth.
Wish the stove worked a bit better, but other than that you won't find a better place to find yourself.

A wonderful stay. Appreciate the "closed access". Road is in great condition, although vegetation is getting close to the road the last 1/2 mi or so. The fire ring and cooking grate are in great condition and in a spot with an amazing westward view. The outhouse is as expected (not great, not bad either). Stairs are steep, as expected. SPECTACULAR 360 degree views from up top. Condition of the inside is as expected (not great, not bad either). Propane cook top works great, a nice feature (didn't use the oven or heater). Very sturdy winch system for hoisting your gear to the top (plan accordingly for straps, carabiners, etc). This was a great stay for the two of us, we'll definitely try and get another night in the future.

Exceptional condition, beautiful views, and easy access. Despite the steep stairs, the lookout was incredible. Impressively clean and well furnished. The drive was easy and even though a forest fire has ripped through the area, it was absolutely gorgeous. The good cell coverage was a blessing and a curse. All in all, this is one of the best lookouts I've visited.
