Awesome views! It’s rough around the edges but a great place to experience.

Bare bones lookout. Beautiful setting and way off the main roads. Minimal supplies so plan to take everything you need including plates, cups, silverware. No heater while I was there, solar shower is just a stall with no water reservoir.

Great place if you have a 4WD high clearance vehicle that you don't mind paint scratches. Cell service lasted 1 hr. a day in the evenings. Very sturdy lookout during high winds. Nice view from toilet. Took Bear Camp Rd. from Merlin to 33 to 3336, then the route in the instructions home. Lobster Cr. Rd and 33 are very washboard. 3340 North of tower was in worse condition than 3336, but surprisingly paved South of tower. Road from gate was doable with 4WD engaged. We had 1 day of rain, and got to see the harvest moon. The view is wonderful. Check out Devil's Half Mile if you're into geology. Skip Lake of the Woods Lake (wetland).

The view of the stars here was amazing and it was the perfect night because the moon wasn’t out. For the shower you have to bring your own solar shower Stove worked well Someone left surprise gummies in one of the cabinets

Well....when reading what little reviews there were for this lookout, I was confident in making the treck in my new Rav4. Not so much. You will NEED a truck or Jeep of some kind. The last 0.75 miles up NF 141 was GNARLY. I had already got a flat tire out on the logging road to get out about 20 miles deep into the mountain. Once we got the tire changed into a doughnut, we still had about eight miles to go before reaching the cabin. Follow the Rec.gov directions and make sure you have a high enough vehicle. No cell service so be careful with directions and watch for forest signs along the road. Lookout did not have a heat source but we didn't even need our sleeping bags, just blankets! No bugs, and minimal wildlife. Very nice outhouse (with an even better view). This was my sixth lookout and it did not disappoint! Views of the Pacific Ocean and parts of California really made this lookout special. Thank you for keeping this going!
