Sitting atop a 3,000-foot gain in elevation within Mt. Hood National Forest, Devil's Peak Lookout gives hikers access to a historic fire lookout structure in the places to camp near Mt. Hood National Forest. The site is first come, first served. Interior sleeping capacity tops out at roughly four people, so it works best for solo travelers or small groups willing to commit to the climb. The terrain is open, and alcohol is permitted on site.
Description
Devil’s Peak Lookout remains open to the public, but has been out of service for over 25 years. First come / first serve. Great vistas from the lookout and elsewhere on the butte.
