The good: Wonderful place! Nice to have a lookout with electricity and cell service. Cool slanted window design makes it feel like you are in an air traffic control tower! No problem driving a car but please SLOW DOWN! Numerous reports in journals of people getting flats due to the sharp shale rock cutting into tires due to going too fast. There is a locked gate further down the road for added privacy. Great views! You can see part of the town of Superior. Screened windows and screened sliding glass door. The small fridge in the photos has been replaced with a full size fridge on the 2nd floor. Cell phone towers are right next to the building so you you get full service with any carrier. People take very good care of this place with a good amount of cleaning supplies. Bring a rope and basket or bucket to haul your stuff up so you don't have to make so many trips up and down the stairs. Maybe you can leave the rope after as a donation. Wish we had thought of this before our stay. Fire pit by parking area with picnic bench. Has a sink that drains and a two burner stove for cooking. One twin bed is there along with two cots donated by "Friends Of Savenac". Thank you! Rare that the catwalk goes all the way around since you use inside stairs. A nice thing to have. We would stay there again for sure! The bad: Pit toilet a let down and the 2nd worst smelling one we have ever been in. Old style with no plastic seat. Just your butt on boards. Would like to see the larger concrete type pit toilet like at most lookouts and cabins. On the 2nd floor there is some communication equipment in a locked room. While it was mostly quiet at night at any time talking and noise can be heard at all hours. Not sure why these speakers have to be on. Use the fan in the lookout for noise to cover this annoyance. Follow directions supplied by the Forest Service. Both our Garmin GPS and Google Maps sent us a little west and wanted to take us up a road that did not exist.

One of the more modern lookout's I've been to. Can't wait to come back.

Only 6 miles of USFS road to the tower!! A bit electronically noisy but one becomes used to it. Acts like a time share condo- clean, electricity, refrigerator and stove!!!! A-1. Great windows for viewing.

It was beautiful at the lookout and the place was clean. We had a nice afternoon and dinner but unfortunately we had to be evacuated due to a wildfire caused by lightning. The National parks staff were incredible in getting us the necessary information and even locating a nearby lookout (Up Up Up Lookout) that was available for us.
