## Overview

The Gold Butte Lookout sits on the summit of Gold Butte at an elevation of
4,618 feet in the Willamette National Forest. It was built in 1934 by the

who reported all passing aircraft within sight or sound to a central filter
center. The lookout stands on 3-foot stilts and is surrounded by glass windows
and an exterior catwalk, offering a panoramic view of the Cascades. It is
furnished with refurbished or replica furniture. The lookout is typically open
from early July through mid-October. It is accessible by car, but guests
