How to drive the unpaved road to Lookout Mountain in Washington?
Lookout Mountain is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.683m (5,522ft) above sea level, located in Okanogan County, in the US state of Washington.
Where is Lookout Mountain?
The peak is located west of Twisp, in the northern part of Washington, within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
Why is there a road to Lookout Mountain?
At the summit there’s a fire lookout. The cabin atop the fire lookout structure is locked and inaccessible to the public. The views from the summit are pretty incredible – 360 every direction and great views of the oddly shaped Hoodoo Peak and the North Cascades.
Is the road to Lookout Mountain unpaved?
The road to the summit is totally unpaved. The road ends about 1.5 miles from the summit trail though the tire tracks all the way prove you can do it and that people have. But about 3 miles from the top the road narrows and the steep drop on one side gives you very little room for making a mistake or for getting turned around.
Is the road to Lookout Mountain open year-round?
Set high in the North Cascades, the road is not plowed in winters.
