Fantastic view, great weather! Abundant cushion plants and wildflowers! Some snow, and a colony of lady bugs! After days of rain, we were able to drive right to the lookout, the road was not muddy nor washed out. Because of the easy drive, we had a lot of visitors, 6 groups (~25 people) in two weekdays. We invited most folks up to take in the view from the upper deck of the tower, but eventually closed the door (with the lock and hasp) and went for a hike to avoid the crowd. The door does not latch at all. The door is currently held closed with a large rock when inside the LO, or locked from the outside with the lock and hasp provided. No pot is provided to heat water or soup, highly recommend you bring your own to heat water for coffee/tea, etc. The previous occupants were untidy, and dirty/moldy dishes found in the cupboard. Please remember to clean before your departure and leave the LO better than you found it. We want to keep these wonderful places accessible to the public!

WINDY!!! After reading the log book, I realized it's windy at this lookout 360 days out of the year. The views made up for the wind! We got to watch a storm move in across the mountain, and it was absolutely amazing! The door didn't lock, and there was a steady flow of visitors. Not the lookout for you if you're looking for privacy and seclusion.

We really lucked out and were able to drive right to the tower. It was well stocked with firewood and clean! The views were incredible and we had NO wind! Couldn't believe it! We only saw one truck which turned around and left when they saw us. What an amazing experience! Thank you to all the individuals who have cared for this lovely space!

Super windy and indescribably beautiful! Heading up in May required a ~4 mile hike from Stemple Pass, but it was worth it - total seclusion, only saw one friendly dirt biker while we were there for two nights. Highly recommended.

Did not realize that the road is impassable in early May. We got about 5 miles from the lookout and went to turn down the road and it was covered in about 2 feet of snow. I've stayed at this lookout twice in the past and will visit again when the snow is melted.
