Beautiful! Magnificent view of Mt Rainier and a 360 view of surrounding mountains. The fire lookout is very well maintained by volunteers and I was fortunate to meet (Darrin) one of the volunteers who showed us inside the lookout. When the volunteers are on duty, they'll open the gate and you can drive all the way up to the lookout. Otherwise, you can still hike up if the gate is closed. There are 2 picnic benches up there with unblocked mountainous view and a restroom too! Elevation is 5280 ft and it is cooling up there even when under the afternoon sun with cloudless sky.

Gorgeous overlook of Rainier! Bit of a scary drive (i.e. steep dropoff and gravel roads) but that's to be expected. Did not expect the last 3/4 mile to be walking but it didn't take too long so it wasn't too bad. Went in July around sunset so the views at golden hour were fantastic. Would definitely come back!

Amazing view and super easy 1 mile walk up to it. You can see the whole mountain from it

It was a great tromp. Just a short hike but great for a beginner or older person. It had a beautiful view & a bathroom ☺️ You are mostly driving up there. There are a LOT of pot holes so just take it slow. My Kia Soul made it just fine.

The gate is not open, but a easy hike on the road to the top. Bathroom is open, and there are picnic tables.

It is not available for rent. It is not first come first serve. It is a working fire lookout operated by USFS Fire Lookouts seasonally during the summer and fall, and locked in the off season. It is available to visit and tour when Fire Lookouts are staffed there.
