Very fun. Amazing views. Hiking trails nearby. Huckleberries in August. Also smoke... but can't help that. We hiked to Peak Pend Oreille, Trestle Ridge, and started along Beetop-Roundtop trail until we felt like turning around. Make sure to call the ranger station ahead of time to get the door code.

Warmest lookout we’ve stayed in yet. The double pane windows and solid door made for a cozy night. Got pretty windy and had a little bit of rain during the night but didn’t damper the experience. Brought our two dogs so we decided to bunker down with mats and sleeping bags on the floor with them and used the platform as a storage setup. This is an easy to access lookout. Road was packed dirt with some switchbacks. That being said visitors did show up throughout the day until around 7-8pm. We actually arrived with about 5 cars at the parking area near the bathroom and a big group at the top. They left shortly after pictures and once we fixed the sign visitors didn’t walk up pass the gate.

Great location with an awesome trail right from the lookout, VERY rough 4 mi road to get there, 4x4 for sure. Also there were several people that came up the road while we were there, so you want to keep the gate shut.
