We had a great visit to the lookout. I liked the new view after the wildfires and previous logging activities opened the ridge views and the Kootenai valley.

Great view, cab and outhouse. Got water for washing/ cleaning from Roosevelt city park in Troy while at the tower. Thank you USFS for this facility.

The gate had to be left open due to logging in the area. Forest service crew was there when we arrived. They were looking for fires and had no idea that it was a rental. The logging trucks drive so fast down the hill we were almost plowed into by one semi had to back down the mt a ways. Then a logging company pickup that almost hit us as well flying down the mountain. Would have been nice to know that was going on in the area. Loud at 6am when they started logging. It was mostly bare of trees due to the fire that went through and over grown with brush. I am sure the views are better with no smoke but couldn't see much. Probably won't do this one again for a few years while some trees grow back. Did have a great time away from the world.
