## Overview

Meadow Peak Lookout sits atop its namesake mountain at an elevation of 6,710
feet in the Kootenai National Forest. The lookout has been used as an
observation point for spotting forest fires for over 90 years. On July 13,

mile walk from road to lookout. At this point there is a cabin with a cupola
on top. It is connected to Bend Ranger Station by telephone". This phone line
would have been approximately 14 miles long.

The first lookout was a cupola cabin built in 1928, the second lookout was
built in 1936 it was a 15' L-4 style lookout and the the current lookout was
built in 1957 as a 10' L-4 style for $6299. Leonard Sheffield was the
contractor and had 3 Forest Service employees to help with the build. The
lookout was last staffed in the 1990's and was placed on the National Historic
Lookout Register in 2000.

The lookout is typically open from mid-June through late September. High
clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles with off-road tires are required. Access to
this lookout is along mountain roads with sections of loose sharp rocks and
small boulders.

This mountain hideaway offers some amenities, but guests should plan to pack
in most of their own supplies. Cell service is available at the lookout.
