On a clear day, visitors can see north to Mount Hood, south to Crater Lake and Mount McLoughlin, and east to many prominent peaks in the Cascade Range. The 15' x 15' one-room cabin is furnished with a futon, a table with chairs, a propane heater, a cook stove, an oven and a small refrigerator. No cooking utensils are provided). Near the tower is a fire ring as well as a vault toilet. There is no water on site; visitors must bring plenty for drinking, cooking, and washing.
