Amazing!!

7/2-7/4/2021 - lookout has 3 beds with mattresses, 2 burner propane stove/small oven unit and several pieces of furniture along with 4 chairs. Tower was clean when we arrived and we’ll kept! Sadly the fire season has started early this year so both mornings we woke up to smoke in all directions. We saw air attack spread retardant and smokejumpers on a fire to the north. Super cool. Sunset the second night was GORGEOUS!

While the day time temps were still a bit high (close to 90) the temp in the tower was pleasant. In the afternoon you are high enough to get the breeze in the windows so the temperature stays reasonable.

Bring sheets and a blanket or a sleeping bag, pack it in pack it out, and cleaning supplies to leave it well kept for the next group. I might also add these are the things I would bring next time: sheet of screen for the door and something to secure it with.

Cell coverage with Verizon was 2-3 bars of LTE.

CONS: bugs were kinda terrible. So down below where you park, all variations of flies were thick. Once up in the tower it’s not too bad until early morning and you get the non- stinging bees, gnats and small flies. I’m a bug magnet and didn’t get eaten too bad but boy were the flies at ground level annoying.
