West Fork Butte Lookout

Loved staying here! You can't beat the view and star visability. Love the rugged feel of camping without having to sleep on the ground in a tent? Look no further.

The view is okay. The windows still had most of the shutters on them in July. It would have been nice to see a 360 view of the mountains from inside the cabin especially at sunrise and sunset. We didn't see any animals except Chipmunks in the rocks after food. There are some amenities in the cabin others have left, like water and toilet tissue but don't depend on them being there. There are games and some kitchen utensils like silverware, pots and pans to cook on the gas stove. The stove is connected to a propane tank you need to turn on in a shed below. There is also a propane powered lantern and a battery operated lantern to light up the cabin at night. Also, there is a wood burning stove along with kindling and firewood. This place is not for the elderly or people have trouble walking as it is would be hazardous walking on the sharp rocks for people who have issues with their balance. The bathroom is at the bottom of the hill (approximately 500 ft away from the cabin) and I would not recommend going alone at night we did here growls in the middle of the night that made me imagine two grizzly bears fighting.

What a wonderful place to stay and experience the great outdoors! Everything was just as described; will definitely be back.

This lookout is great. Has 4 beds as well. It also has a pretty good view. It also has a bathroom!!
