Fire Lookout Friday! Green Ridge Lookout is unusual because it's positioned on the side of a ridge instead of on top of a mountain. It doesn't have 360-degree views like most fire lookouts, but it does have a smashing view of the Cascades, including Mt. Jefferson. #greenridgelookout #firelookout
Fire Lookout Friday! The Watchman was built on a high point on the west shore of Crater Lake in 1932. The lookout is no longer staffed, but it makes an excellent hike destination (hike #24 in my book!) with a fantastic view of Crater Lake. #oregon #craterlakenationalpark #firelookout
Fire Lookout Friday! The first time I rented the Fivemile Butte Lookout with my sister we had a campfire under bright moon and a starry sky. Even though it was March there was no snow on the ground anywhere up there.

Fire Lookout Friday! It was cold and snowy the first weekend of November in 2015 when Greg and I stayed at Warner Mountain Lookout. We were socked in the whole time with no views, but it was still beautiful up there!

Fire Lookout Friday! Clear Lake Butte was the first lookout I snowshoed to in the winter. I went with my sister and although we were only stayed one night, but we lucked into clear starry skies. What a sight! #Oregon #MtHoodNationalForest #FireLookout #ClearLakeButte #ClearLakeButteLookout
Fire Lookout Friday! This is the view of Mt. Hood from Fivemile Butte, a year-round rental in the Mt. Hood National Forest. In the winter you have to ski or snowshoe 2.7 miles of unplowed roads to get here. #Oregon #MtHoodNationalForest #FivemileButte #FireLookout

The rains finally came back to the mountains and I had a perfect week of fall weather at the fire lookout. Then it was time to shut things down for the season. I'll be back next year! #firewatch #wildfire #vlog #mountains #firelookout

This might have been the craziest day EVER at the fire lookout. I saw the most insane sunset with lightning coming down and then spent the whole next day finding smokes and watching crews come in to fight the wildfires #firewatch #sunset #wildfire #vlog #dayinmylife #firelookout #summer #mountains
The prettiest sunset I’ve ever seen at the fire lookout #sunset #mountains #firelookout #firewatch #summer
What a normal day in my life at the fire lookout is like. Lots of looking at mountains, reading, walking, and writing. Such a peaceful way of life #mountains #firelookout #firewatch #vlog #dayinmylife
🌟 Exciting Volunteer Opportunity in Washington's Wilds! 🌟
The Red Top Lookout in Cle Elum Ranger District is back online after a 5-year break—and is looking for volunteers to staff it!

One of the most beautiful sunsets at the fire lookout so far this season #firelookout #sunset #mountains
What my day at the fire lookout looks like when lightning has rolled through the district. We had four new fires and I spent my day directing the fire crews to the smoke. I also relayed messages between them and the ranger station. #firelookout #firewatch #mountains #wildfire #wildlandfire
First thunderstorms of the season at my fire lookout! It's been dry so we were or alert for new fires. I got two new ones on the board! Let's see what happens next #firelookout #firewatch #mountains #thunderstorm #lightning #wildfire
This week in my life I returned to the fire lookout. As expected, some things changed. And some things stayed the same #firelookout #writing #writtenword #mountains #sunset
First ever snow day at the fire lookout! I've never seen this much snow up here before! I'm all fogged in with snow around me and can't see any other mountains. It feels like I'm on my own summer snow globe #firelookout #firewatch #snow #Summer #mountains #fog #firelookouttower
Welcome to my fourth season at the fire lookout! I'm so excited to be back. This is going to be a great summer #firelookout #firewatch #mountains #summer

First stay in a Fire Lookout this year: In late April, I spent two nights in the ground house of this lookout in eastern WA. It was very accommodating with a gas heater, stove, & even a fridge! The tower is off limits but you don’t need to be up high to enjoy the view.

Mountains define you. You cannot define mountains.-May Sarton
Reached an elevation where the Glacier Lilies are still in bloom. And the reward of a #FireLookout to spend a chilly night. Wishing you all moments grace-filled and peaceful in these chaotic times.

First new Fire Lookout visit of the year! In April, we took the long drive and long walk (avoiding private land boundaries) to this field of dreams. So many wildflowers and a beautiful cloudy sky. The eastern mountains also did not disappoint.

A photo of a small fire lookout on top of a high ridge. Small green shrubs and a few conifer trees surround this small stone and mortar building. It has a wooden cupola with glass windows on top. The entry door is facing the viewer,, and it painted a dark bluish grey, with a small sign on the door that is too far away to read. There is a small deck, and steps, coming from ground level to the entry door. A small window with side by side panes is beside the entry door, but it's shuttered from the inside. The sky is mostly overcast and white, with a very few spots of blue showing.
A view out of a fire lookout window at conifer trees framing the view in the foreground. In the distance is a forested mountainside, low down. The bulk of the view is of overcast sky with white clouds and some blue sky coming through in places.
One of the destinations that day. An increasingly rare fire lookout. This one was built in the 1930s. You can stay in it, but it's first come, first serve. And, of course you have to bring everything in, and take it back out with you. #lnt

Perched atop a rugged ridge in Mount Rainier National Park, the Mount Fremont Fire Lookout offers hikers some of the most breathtaking views in the Pacific Northwest.
