Propane is disconnected while they fix it, so bring your own stove. Not sure about heat while it's disconnected, it was warm when we went up there. Tacoma made it to the base the steps. A few mouse droppings spotted, but otherwise no sign of mice.

An incredible place! The lookout tower was well maintained and the bathroom was brand new and well stocked. The road up there is tough but a solid high clearance vehicle should be just fine. Saw a pair of American Kestrels around the peak every day.

The views were amazing. We had a handful of visitors during the day. Clear view of the Milky Way. The 500 road is horrendous need 4 wheel drive and high clearance to pass it. Heard that the Forest is planning on fixing the road at the end of this year though.

Amazing views, the lookout was cozy. We hiked into Bald Mountain lake and fished and picked huckleberries. We also went to Rocky Ridge lake. Next trip we want to go to Horseshoe lake and Indian post office lakes.
