This fire lookout position was originally no more than a tent and a separate, open-top platform. Eventually, a 30-foot-tall enclosed cabin was built. This structure is what still stands today. The lookout offers great views of the Clark Fork River and the surrounding mountains. This building is rentable from the U.S. Forest Service for $45 per night. There is a vault toilet nearby.
