About this spot

Mr. Big's Lookout

The Mr Big S Lookout is a fire observation tower located in the Upper Klamath watershed of Oregon. It was built in 1934 and stands at an elevation of 7,440 feet, providing stunning panoramic views of the surrounding forests and mountains. The tower is currently used by the U.S. Forest Service to monitor wildfires and is also available for public use as a rental cabin. Visitors can access the tower via a steep, three-mile hike through the forest, which is considered challenging but rewarding for those who make the trek. The lookout offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from technology and immerse oneself in nature, with no electricity or running water available.

There are several reasons why one might want to visit the Mr Big S Lookout. The tower provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the Cascade Range, Mount Shasta, and the Upper Klamath Lake. It is also a great spot for wildlife viewing, with opportunities to see bald eagles, ospreys, and other birds of prey. Additionally, the area around the tower is ideal for hiking and backpacking, with several trails that lead through old growth forests, meadows, and alpine habitats. Overall, the Mr Big S Lookout offers a unique and memorable experience for those who are willing to make the journey.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
