Bald Knob Lookout

Was not provided with information to access to the lookout

Great lookout and amenities! I have stayed in quite a few lookouts and this by far had the nicest accommodations with a toilet with disposable toilet paper well stocked (I've stayed in a few without), propane stove, refrigerator, sink, oven, two beds, clean counter and floor with cleaning supplies. The road was very nice for a lookout and can be reached without four wheel drive. Forest service road 33 on the way there was unique with the pot holes and dips spray painted pointed out which really helps you avoid the possible flat tire (spray painted was better than nothing). The other roads were very smooth for gravel. The beauty did not disappoint with the brilliant forest, wonderful sunrise/sets, fog coming up the hillside and overall awe with the flowers below. The surrounding hikes that are included in the lookout book were wonderful, easy to get to from the lookout and gorgeous including all the waterfalls. I would love to stay in more lookouts like this one! Nice work Recreation.gov and the Powers Ranger Station crew for keeping up this wonderful place.

Had a great time but the noise from the camera turning around all the time was not OK.

Beautiful scenery, and a secluded waterfall is nearby. We went in the dead heat of summer and it was 100 degrees outside, which made it a very hot night in the tower, but the reward was having the waterfall and trail down the hill all to ourselves.

The tower was very clean inside, and the last person to use it left in great shape. We watched the sun come up in the morning and took photos, and they are some of the most popular pics I've ever shared to my Instagram (@oddtoddpnw.jpg)

Would highly recommend it if you can find an open day on the reservation schedule!

Beautiful location, I know you wouldn't expect anything less ;). Not another soul for MILES

Solid lookout! LONG, windy drive, but that usually means you have the area to yourself right? Would stay again, with more time! Lots of trails around, but ended up lounging at the lookout. Would have liked to stay at least 2 nights to do more activities. Reception is out most of the drive, but picks up a little for Verizon once you're in the tower. Also, do NOT use a map application to the address. Use the ones provided by the reservation.
