Sweet lookout

We visited this lookout on a wilderness Excursion.

While we did not stay here we had a great time.

We always make it a point to visit the lookouts in any areas where we are visiting. The lookout was originally built to be a lookout tower for wildfires.

As such the building is very high and has stunning views.
