Deer Creek Campground

## Overview

Up Up Lookout is 40 feet tall and perched on a beautiful rock pinnacle in the
Bitterroot Mountains of western Montana. It is close to the Idaho border,
giving guests a bird's eye view of the entire area. The lookout is a fantastic
place by which to view the St. Regis River drainage and the high alpine
country.  
  
The tower can be accessed by vehicle. Children are discouraged, as the tower
has an exterior open stairway. Guests are responsible for their own travel
arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

## Recreation

The Up Up Ridge Trail takes visitors into the spectacular Ward and Eagle peaks
roadless area, where visitors will find several scenic alpine lakes and
various points of exploration. The trail leads to other trails, which take
hikers and mountain bikers to the 7,300-foot Eagle Peak, providing ample views
of the surrounding area.  
  
Big game hunters often camp along the ridge. It is also a great place to see
vibrantly colored fall leaves, beautiful waterfalls, wildlife, do some berry
picking and even fishing. The area holds many scenic and recreational
attractions. The trail leads all the way to the Idaho state line, near Ward
Peak.

## Facilities

THE LOOKOUT CAN SLEEP UP TO FOUR PEOPLE AND IS EQUIPPED WITH ONE TWIN BED AND
MATTRESS PAD. IT IS RECOMMENED TO BRING ADDITIONAL COTS TO SLEEP ON. It has
propane lights and a heater. There are no cooking facilities or refrigeration.
A campfire ring with a grill and a picnic table are provided at the base of
the tower, along with an outhouse with a pit toilet. Guests will need to bring
water for drinking, cooking and cleaning purposes, as well as cooking
equipment and fuel. Cots, bedding, towels, soap, cooking and eating utensils,
matches, toilet paper and garbage bags are not provided. Guests will need to
clean the facility prior to leaving.

## Natural Features

The wooden tower was built in the 1930s and used as a fire lookout for several
years. It is situated between the main highway and the Idaho border, at an
elevation of 5,900 feet. With the growing use of aircraft for fire detection,
fewer lookouts have been staffed in recent years and many are converted to
cabin rentals available to the public.  
  
The Lolo National Forest is home to many species of wildlife, from mule deer,
whitetail deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, black bear, mountain lions
and moose, to many varieties of smaller animals and birds. Wildlife viewing
areas offer guests ample opportunity to view animals in their natural habitat.
