The ransom fire started when we where there and witnessed it grow. Neat to experience that.

This tower is always great. It was clean upon arrival. We were surprised that there were no matches or lighters there. There is usually a plentiful supply of them. We always appreciate the screened windows and door which allows air flow. We love that the road is gated which prevents others from driving up. There is several resident deer which are a bit aggressive. It's obvious that people are feeding them. Not a good idea.

Staying at Baldy Creek Lookout Tower was an unforgettable experience. We brought our own bedding, water, and food, but were pleasantly surprised by the stash of card games, dishwashing supplies, and thoughtful little items left by previous guests. The stargazing was absolutely breathtaking—I've never seen stars like that before. Watching the night sky from the tower was a magical moment I’ll cherish forever. We also spotted plenty of wildlife from our birds-eye view, which was really cool. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone, and I’d love to return someday. The drive up the mountain is slow and steady, but totally worth it!

Beautiful 360 views! The stairs are a bit steeper than they look but are do-able and there is a pully system to help with getting your items to the top. Lookout itself has 3 windows that open and is bigger than some of the others we have stayed at. 10/10 would recommend.

Clean, well maintained, newer paint. Three opening windows with screens is huge help for keeping the inside of the cabin cool. Really appreciate the gated access to help keep other people out while we enjoy our time at the tower.

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!

It was a great fire lookout with amazing views!
