Gale force winds. Cabin was tight, views were awesome.

Spacious lookout tower with incredible views- We skied in pulling sleds but ran out of snow for the last 500 feet and had to carry everything up. The only pots and pans were all left dirty from prior occupants (chili??) so I would recommend bringing extra water for cleaning, as well as bringing your own cups. Otherwise the fire keeps things perfectly cozy and despite the ceaseless wind, the lookout and it's window panels are well built and barely move or make noise.

Loved our stay. Plenty of room for all 4 of us, and plenty of wood to keep us warm. The wind was crazy, the hike up was pretty grueling but it was all worth it, the views are amazing. Just an FYI. The stove in the cabin requires the small, green coleman propane canisters.

Arrived to calm weather but then the winds kicked up. The bad: Lanturn had both mantles broken and pots and pans were pretty dirty. Limited silverware. There was also a 2 gallon jug of frozen pee out on the walkway. Please, bring your own pee pot and empty it in the latrine. Don't leave it out to freeze or others will need to take care of in once it thaws. There were no left over propane at the lookout (which often is available) so it was a good thing we brought plenty. Otherwise the wood was pleantiful and the place was clean. Always a winter adventure at the lookout!

We had a wonderful time at the lookout. It is well kept and provided a great getaway. A few visitors but all were respectful and didn't try to intrude. Be mindful of the yellow jackets that appear to be nesting in the wood pile and fly up and into the lookout. Could use a new fly swatter. Overall would stay again!
