Evergreen Mountain Lookout

Stayed at the Lookout on 9/28. It was smoky due to the Labor Mountain / Lower Sugarloaf fires, but cleared out around sunset as the rain rolled in. Lookout is well stocked with some dishes, gas stove, four twin mattresses, and some random books. The wind seemed to come through cracks in the walls / around the windows making for a colder night, but overall - great experience with minimal guests! Toilet is just beyond the Lookout, down the trail to the left. There is an easy-to-miss sign showing the way.

Overall, wish it had been less smoky for us to enjoy the views, but still fantastic.

What an awesome opportunity to hike through a changing landscape, including old-growth forests, with one amazing view after another. And then the most exciting view ... the fire lookout perched on top of the mountain! It's rare to find a place where you can't see a house, a car, anything but trees and mountaintops. The most amazing sunset, and sunrise. Thank you so much for maintaining the lookouts. We can't wait to stay at another one.

We went to Evergreen in late summer and had the place to ourselves the entire time we were at the summit. The tower was well-equipped to serve my entire family (except there was no gas for the stove). We ate our fill of blueberries along the trail, so we weren't hungry.

The trail to the tower is pretty short but very steep in places, which was tough since I was carrying a baby and all our camping equipment... the drive is pretty long on the dirt road, but the road was in good condition.
