This lookout was so fantastic. The road to the tower was not bad, a few big rocks but nothing a high clearance vehicle can't handle. Lots of steep stairs. Gorgeous views, turkey buzzards soaring by on thermals. We didn't see any other wildlife. The cabin was clean and well equipped and there is a really cool printed journal written by someone who lived seasons there in the '40s. The one thing I would caution about was the trap door to the stairs, which served as part of the wraparound balcony when it was down. It was VERY heavy. Lifting it from above was hard. Pushing it up when it's down and you're on the stairs is also hard. When you leave, you have to let it down over your own head, which is extremely difficult given the steepness of the stairs you're standing on. Be very, very careful with this!

Amazing views. Wrench to help bring things up was very helpful so you don’t have to carry up the stairs. Sweet staying in one of these that has heat and a stove to cook! Great weather and definitely will go back

We loved the view and the solitude at the lookout. The setup was very complete and we had a great overnight.
