What Guests Are Saying
Hager Mountain Lookout offers an adventurous experience, particularly in winter, requiring snowshoes and navigation aids for the challenging hike. The cozy cabin, equipped with supplies and a functional wood stove, provides a welcoming refuge after the journey. Despite some concerns about high winds and minor issues like mice and equipment malfunctions, many visitors find the effort to reach the lookout well worth it and plan to return.

Excellent. There is a bit of a mice issue but it was otherwise amazing as always. I'd recommend sterilizing anything as there are mice droppings and they did get into our food overnight. We had snow from just after the trail head to the lookout, but less than in a previous visit. I highly recommend making a stop at the Cowboy Dinner Tree.
There are plenty of games and things to keep you busy!

What a great experience! Last mile was difficult and had to break trail through deep snow. Thank you for keeping this available for the public to rent!

Second Lookout adventure for me. Absolutely love it every time. There always seems to be a little lack of information going into it but that is part of the adventure. Called Rangers prior to trip and they were very pleasant and helpful on the phone. I really wouldn't change anything and hope you/they don't. It's suppose to be an adventure, not a Sunday stroll or 5 star hotel.
Thx, Bradd
