Unable to snowmobile to the lookout due to ice under fresh snow along the trail in the steep sections. The trail was not groomed. The Forest Service does not give refunds due to weather conditions, so be aware.

It's quite the hike up to the top of Garnet Mountain but worthwhile. My only complaint would be the constant stream of motorized recreation coming up during the day and making a racket.

Even with the lack of snow, we were able to have a great time. Arrived 12/22/20 and left 12/24/20. Everything was in working order and easy to use. The only thing we ran into is if you want to use the lanterns you need to bring your own mantles! Garnet lookout is a great quick getaway and I look forward to going back soon.

This was our 2nd year visiting the cabin in March, and it was awesome yet again! Both times it has been left clean, with chopped firewood next to the fireplace. We were happy that the lantern was working this year! The poop cone in the outhouse is getting dangerously close to the top, though...
