## Overview

Warner Mountain Lookout is the winter wonderland destination for avid winter
sports enthusiasts looking for a challenge. This replica of an old cupola-
style lookout sits on a high vantage point of Warner Ridge at an altitude of
5,300 feet in the Willamette National Forest approximately 75 miles southeast
of Eugene, Oregon.  
  
This is a very remote location; the road to the lookout is not plowed or
maintained for winter travel. The lookout can only be accessed by skis,
snowmobiles or snowshoes, a distance of 2-10 miles. Conditions on the mountain
change rapidly. You need to be evaluating conditions and weather throughout
your stay. Sudden storms and high winds may make skiing and driving conditions
difficult. Experience in cross-country skiing or snowshoe travel is highly
recommended. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and
safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.  
  
The reward is worth the effort of getting there. Guests will enjoy panoramic
views of the pristine snow-covered landscape and starry skies on clear nights.

Winter recreationists can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and
snowmobiling on the terrain in the nearby Middle Fork Willamette River - Moon
