Gold Butte Lookout

Incredibly beautiful views, great facilities, difficult to book

This has to be one of the finest lookouts in the PNW that you can actually stay in.  The views are simply stunning, especially of Mt. Jefferson.  The hike up to the lookout is not long, but it is actually really steep.  I dragged a very heavy cooler up there, which is not advised at all.  There are two cots, one bed platform, a wood burning stove, and a cooking stove up there.  There is also a detached outhouse.  Just bring your food, cooking fuel, pots/pans, and a sleeping pad and bag and you are all set!
