About Bolan Mountain Lookout

In 2024, the Siskiyou Mountain Club partnered with the US Forest Service to rebuild the Bolan Mountain Lookout after it burned down in the Slater fire in 2020. For more information on this project, check out this short film created by Vincent DiFrancesco with the Siskiyou Mountain Club. https://youtu.be/wJYSNzqWCVoBolan Mountain Lookout is surrounded by glass windows on all sides, providing visitors with an unparalleled view of the sheer drop-offs sharp cliffs, and breath-taking views of the rugged Siskiyou Mountains. The historic lookout is available for rent during the snow-free season with a maximum length of stay being 3 consecutive nights, and guests must bring several of their own amenities.

This was an amazing stay and I would highly recommend it. The views were outstanding and the sunset incredible. Not an easy drive to the top but well worth it.

Amazing night at Bolan. Beautiful sunset with views of Shasta. 360 view of Milky Way and stars. And woke up to a beautiful sunrise.
