Mt. Wam Lookout Cabin Rental

## Overview

McGuire Mountain Lookout was originally constructed in 1923 and was actively
used as an observation point for detecting forest fires for over 20 years
before it was abandoned around 1944. The structure was later renovated between
1983 and 1998 and is now available for rent for up to four people.  
  
McGuire Mountain is located approximately 14 miles southwest of Eureka. Access
to the lookout requires a 2.5 mile hike from the parking area at Little Sutton
Mountain; visitor arrival is dependent on road and weather conditions.

## Recreation

Backpacking opportunities abound in the area surrounding McGuire Mountain.
Take trail #446 past the lookout and enjoy many more miles of scenic views.  
  
A day trip to Koocanusa Reservoir offers visitors the option of biking,
fishing, hiking or boating around the lake. Trail #90, which starts just off
of the Koocanusa Reservoir on Hwy 37, follows McGuire Creek closely for a
scenic hike along the water.  
  
Because the McGuire Lookout is surrounded by windows on top of one of the
area's tallest summits (almost 7,000 feet), visitors have the best views of
the sunrise and sunset over the surrounding cabinet mountains.

## Facilities

The lookout is a 12 x 12 foot wood-frame cabin with a pyramidal-shaped roof.
On top of the roof there is a pyramidal-shaped cupola and a wooden ladder
inside the cabin leading up to it. Windows completely surround the structure,
providing a 360-degree view of the surrounding area.  
  
The rustic-style cabin is not wired for electricity. The main room is equipped
with a modern wood stove, 2 twin size bed boards (no mattresses), a table, a
bench, a shovel, a bucket and cleaning gear. Firewood is provided, but the
supply cannot be guaranteed.  
  
There is no water available at the lookout and water sources in the area are
limited. There is a toilet provided outside the lookout. Guests are advised to
bring plenty of their own drinking water.  
  
In addition to water, several supplies are needed to ensure a comfortable
stay. Sleeping bags and pads, cooking equipment, toilet paper, lanterns, food
supplies and matches are recommended.

## Natural Features

The McGuire Mountain Lookout is located in the Rexford Ranger district within
the Koocanusa Area, which is primarily centered along the narrow 90-mile
Koocanusa Reservoir, formed by the Libby Dam.  
  
The Koocanusa Reservoir is the major recreation attraction in the area and
contains a large and stable population of Kookanee salmon, Kamloops (rainbow)
trout, bull trout, West slope cutthroat trout and burbot.  
  
The Koocanusa Area is the perfect setting for year round recreational
attractions, including: fishing, water sports, rock and ice climbing, and
driving for pleasure, especially during the fall Western Larch color change.

## Nearby Attractions

Two paved highways running adjacent to the reservoir and extending from Eureka
to Libby have been designated by the Forest Service as a Scenic Byway.  
  
Traffic is light and views along the roadways are memorable, including
glimpses of the Ural-Tweed Big Horn Sheep herd, located on the eastern side of
the reservoir along Hwy 37.
