Spelling correction to my weird request for a photo below! — my IG handle is @passthatatlas
Extremely weird use of Hipcamp comments, but, question: On the wall inside the lookout, there's a framed photo of some flying vultures with quote written on it. It's sort of charmingly weird and janky, has the feel of an inside joke, and I meant to take a picture of it during my stay but I forgot (distracted by amazing views, presumably). If anybody happens to read this comment before going to the lookout and can send me a photo of this thing on the wall, I'd be super grateful! You could reach me via Instagram— @ passthatlatas.
Probably the most beautiful spot I've ever slept. You get a private view of Mt. Shasta to the west and Lassen to the south, with cool geomorphological features and lava fields speckled in front.
There are two single beds with mattresses inside. We brought sheets and sleeping bags, then added a sleeping pad on the ground. Lots of space for tucking and storing things so it doesn't get too cluttered. There's a wood-burning stove inside the lookout, but it was so warm we didn't need it.
The bathroom is clean and stocked with TP. No showers or potable water. There were a ton of bugs while we were there, so don't forget the bug spray.
We went on a 10-mile out-and-back run to Medicine Campground on Medicine Lake, which has awesome swimming!
