The views were amazing but sleeping in the lookout while getting rained on was not so amazing. The fireplace also wouldn’t work without smoking up the lookout. So we were forced to put the fire out. Sadly we had to leave a night early due to all of this. It was quite the adventure & we can laugh about it now.

Make sure you take firewood in with you - and be ready for the weather to switch at any moment. We hiked in with sunshine and then quickly had a winter storm with snow upon us (June 18th). We may have been the first occupants of the season so we arrived to a dirty cabin with lots of junk left over from last season and lots of mice activity. Unless it's water or firewood don't leave it up there- pack it in pack it out. We hiked out with a bag of trash (just crap) that people thought they should leave because it didn't work or they didn't want to pack it out. Mice were plentiful since it was early season and loved all the paper products past campers thought were a good idea to leave behind. There were lots of traps all empty because they had more than enough to eat all the throughout the cabin. Overall a fun night with 40-60 mph winds but super thankful the wood stove worked well and kept us warm. Views after the storm were pretty stunning and the drive gives you great views of the mountains over in Glacier.
