Had a wonderful stay at this lookout! Road was snow-free and passable in my 24-year-old minivan (not 4 wheel drive) with no issues. 360 Views are amazing. Pulley system was super helpful-you'll want both hands free for climbing those steep stairs! Heater, stove & fridge all worked great and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfy the bed is. Outhouse was clean & well-stocked (although someone had gone right outside the outhouse & left dirty TP on the ground...WHYYYYYY?!) Definitely recommend this place, I'll be back for sure :)

We were pleasantly surprised by the ease of the amenities and comfort of the double bed. It was warm, cozy, and the sunrise was incredible. Don’t make our mistake and put “picket butte” in your gps or you will end up on some sketchy roads probably made for off road vehicles. Stay on the well maintained gravel roads! They give detailed instructions in the reservation email on how to get here and use the locks- screenshot these as you won’t have service until you get to the lookout.

Could not have been more pleased with our experience. The forest ranger was helpful when calling prior to our stay. The GPS will try and take you down another forest road, stay on 3133. The lookout was sparkly clean and well stocked. All propane lights worked, as well as the heater, stove and fridge. We stayed two nights and it was plenty of time to soak in the solitude and incredible sunrises/sunsets. Highly recommend!

Poison oak and ticks everywhere. Bring lots of water. Views are phenomenal! Mattress is surprisingly comfortable, fridge and oven/stove work very well. We only had phone reception when in the tower

Lookout is sparse, but clean. No electricity. Would be nice to have solar to at least provide charging for electronic devices. Need to post instructions for the propane lanterns.
