The hike to this lookout is a fun fairly easy trail. The lookout is so neat! You can go up into a loft with glass windows to view the sky. There are many games to play and some books that people have left for the next. The sunset was amazing but the sunrise was even better. The only reason I gave this lookout a 4 was bugs bugs and more bugs. Bring your bug spray. They definitely didn’t ruin the experience. We too the longer trail down for a change of scenery and liked it as well. I recommend staying here!

Great Renovations to the lookout by the Northwest Montana Fire Lookout Association volunteers. The views are endless. The trail is easy to follow. The solitude is great. The only down side is that the new shutters cant be installed if needed to block wind and snow, so if you have those conditions you are stuck with the very drafty windows. Hopefully this problem gets rectified in 2022.

wonderful location, view and experience. Only negative was the state of disrepair of the lookout with windows allowing access to hundreds of flies. So glad it is on the list to get some very needed TLC by the NW Montana Lookout Assoc this summer

Great hike in through a nice forest. The lookout had an axe, bow saw, and nice wood stove for warmth. I hiked in with three kids, and the 5 year old did great. This was a great weekend adventure!

Really cute spot to stay. We hiked in a few hours before sunset, which seemed like perfect timing. The access road was long and dusty, but fairly easy to tackle with a truck (only a handful of really bumpy sections). Hike is was quite easy - no exceedingly steep sections or difficult parts, just a nice gradual and well-traveled trail. The cabin itself was clean, although some previous inhabitants had left trash in the stove. There were a lot of cook pots/pans, but they all seemed pretty old. Someone had kindly left behind a handful of sleeping pads, which was very welcome! Overall, highly recommend!!

The trail to the lookout was an easy hike, tons of wild flowers were in bloom, there was also a ton of mosquitoes to. Overall it was beautiful to visit. Was were able to see a great view of the Neowise comet also.
