I parked at the saddle about 200 yards below the cabin due to very rough and steep road. Not a difficult walk! The views are tremendous! I think the outhouse is sketchy in its position right on the edge of a very steep hillside; daytime is fine, but we did not use it at night! The stars were plentiful, and the facility itself was great. The solar lights are fantastic. And the small woodstove took the chill off for the night. The place is great; the access is terrible. Such is the nature of fire lookouts! THE OREGON CHALLENGE.

We made the last and very steep/rutted part of the road up with a Toyota Tacoma in 'crawl' mode. Outhouse was clean despite being quite full. Windy all night but that's normal for the site. As for the road, a couple of passes with a grader at the start of summer would help access tremendously, especially for those without high-clearance or 4WD. Overall the lookout was sound, clean, and serene.

Most magical place I have ever been in Oregon - waking up above the clouds to the most beautiful sunrise!
