Absolutely thankful to the Forest Service that they chose to share these fire lookouts with all of us. Our history of these towers can teach us so much, and spending a night is a special experience I hope many many more will enjoy as much as we did.

The kitchen was well stocked and appreciated that propane was provided. Views are great! Directions didn't mention you had to unlock a gate to access the last stretch of the road to the lookout. The road after the gate is rougher as other reviews mentioned.

We had 2 amazing nights at the lookout. Clear skies for amazing stars. We took a short hike off the road, at the signpost closeby, and followed the stone markers. Mostly we just sat n enjoyed the quiet & beauty. Highly recommend following the directions from Libby. We charted our own course from Eureka and had a long drive with lots of downed trees.

This was my wife and I's first time staying in a lookout tower and first time out west/seeing the mountains in person. The entire experience was absolutely stunning and we can't wait to go back! The tower and outhouse were very clean, reading some of the past book entries it's apparent that everyone who stays there respects the history and beauty of this tower. If you haven't been here before make sure you're ready for the wind :) Needless to say, we can't wait to go back!

Very nice lookout. It was great to have propane heaters and a propane stove. Comfortable beds compared to most of the lookouts. Very nice

The lookout and accommodations were great and what I expected. Great views in all directions and a very nice shot of Turner Mountain ski area. Be aware the lookout is a long ways above the ground if you are bothered by heights. In the area of the lookout the trail maintenance seems to be nonexistent. Hiking is possible, but mountain biking would very challenging if you can find the trails. Overall a wonderful experience.
