This is one of our favorite fire towers! Easy hike and NOBODY in sight! The wild flowers were amazing! Clear night and incredible sunset and sunrise. I am always amazed at all of the camp gear left- making it easy to cook and enjoy!

We loved McGuire lookout! Accessible yet remote, this was a great get away for the night. It was a treat to be able to wake up on top of a mountain and in a building. The hike is pretty easy, but still a lot of fun with quickly changing scenery. Overall: great trip!

IMPORTANT! DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS LISTED HERE! Look it up before you go - the directions listed here are super confusing and incorrect! The tower location is very picturesque and beautiful, expect hikers and horseback riders to visit while you are there. We loved the hike in - well maintained trail, beautiful views, lots of wildlife and wildflowers. The tower itself is very bare bones but comfortable overall. Majority of the windows dont fit the frames - we actually got rained on inside the cabin during a storm - most are filled with paper and tinfoil from previous renters. The fireplace works fantastic - kept us warm during the storm. There were 6 sleeping pads stored under the bed platforms - thank you to whomever left those! I had read how bad the mosquitoes were here but it was windy enough during our stay that we had no problems with them. Previous renters also left water and some basic supplies. We had a MOST EXCELLENT time!

Great little lookout. Cozy wood burning stove kept us warm through a stormy night. Beautiful views. Pit toilet recently serviced. Plenty of cut firewood. Trail was also recently maintained.
