    I have never seen a crazier approach to a Fire Lookout than the Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout. Standing proud on top of the rocks of Sierra Buttes this Fire Lookout can be reached by climbing these insanely placed steel staircases.

    From the Fire Lookout (at 8587 ft.) you can look down upon the Upper and Lower Sardine Lakes, and the magnificent Sierra Buttes surrounding you.
