Green Ridge Fire Lookout
lookout_towerStay in an authentic fire lookout tower atop Green Ridge with 360-degree views of the Cascade Mountains, including five volcanic peaks.
Experience the life of a 1930s fire lookout ranger by staying in this authentic USFS fire lookout tower perched at 5,400 feet in Oregon's Cascade Range. Originally built to spot forest fires, this historic 14x14 foot cupola offers 360-degree panoramic views of Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the surrounding Willamette National Forest. The 3-mile hike to reach the tower ensures complete solitude - no roads, no neighbors, just you and the wilderness. Inside, you'll find simple but comfortable accommodations with camping cots, a propane stove, solar lighting, and the original fire finder equipment used by rangers decades ago. This is true backcountry living with world-class sunrise and sunset views. Reserve through Recreation.gov (USFS official booking) for this bucket-list wilderness experience.
