Beautiful view and hikes around the area. Be sure to bring water. Since there is no water source in the area.

Fantastic lookout with amazing views. Worth the hike up to the tower. Would highly recommend!

Amazing 360 views, great time to relax and disconnect

Wonderful

Stayed 7/26-7/29/19 Heybrook Lookout is a jewel. Its a beautiful lookout, well kept, and the accommodations were better than expected. Having such a unique vantage point was special. We did a lot of researching on what accommodations were in the lookout and couldn't find anything so here goes: Full size bed, twin size mattress (tucked under full size bed that can be pulled out), stove with fuel, pots and pans, dining table with 4 chairs and a bookshelf of puzzles and some small games. People had left potable and non-potable water in containers for cooking and washing, as well as some snacks. You will want to bring lanterns/headlamps, water/water filtration and sleeping bags. Although the lookout and experience was wonderful, there were two incidents that made the experience pretty terrible. First, during sunset of our second night, myself and friend hiked back down to get a couple of gallons of water that we had stored in the car. On the way down, mind you it was getting dark, we saw a single male hiker head up the trail. When we came back to the Lookout, our wives who had locked themselves in the Lookout when we left, said that this person was banging on the door, asking to come in, and was fairly aggressive. No harm was done, but keep in mind that you are vulnerable as you are 60 feet in the air with no exit. Secondly, when we returned back to our car, there was a strong smell of gasoline. I noticed my gas cap was open. Thinking they siphoned some gas, I turned my car on and my gas tank did not look depleted. Low and behold, when I fill up my gas tank and find gas gushing out from under my car, I find out my gas line had been cut. Not only was this dangerous as we drove all of the way home with a exposed gas line, but they did significant damage to our car and got nothing out of the tank. Your car will be the only one at the trailhead over night, and the vandals know and will prey on it. State Patrol confirmed this was commonplace.

Excellent adventure with incredible views. The only negative was the group of teenagers who showed up with a case of beer around 10pm to party on the observation deck, just below the cab.
