This was my second time at Pickett Butte, but the first time visiting in the Spring. There was lots of vegitation growing around the picnic table and pathways that could be cut back. But more importantly lots of random Poison Oak. So be cautious of your steps. The tower was great and the views too. We especially enjoyed the conveiniences of the stove, fridge, heater and pully system. It was fun exploring the south Umpqua river.

Easy to get to. It is in good shape and hard to beat with heat, cooking, and refrigeration. Nice views but not great like some others.

We had a great time at Pickett Butte. The weather was wonderful and the setting is just gorgeous. We were able to drive right up to the lookout and had no problems with the gate or lookout locks. The lookout is in good condition and we enjoyed the beautiful views, peaceful setting and star-filled skies. The one downside is that the stairs here are very steep, more like a ladder than stairs at the other lookouts that we've stayed at. Overall, though, I'd recommend it.

Best heater in all the land! Arrived in 3.5 feet of snow, only by the grace of snow built rigs and a winch. It was amazing being in a winter wonderland
