## Overview

The Indian Ridge Lookout sits at an elevation of 5,405 feet in the Willamette
National Forest. Built in 1958, the lookout was used for firefighting by
Forest Service personnel until 1973. The lookout is still staffed occasionally
during emergencies. The lookout is accessible by car, although the access road
is rocky. Guests must be prepared to climb steep, narrow steps up the 30-foot
tower to access the lookout's cabin. The accommodations are primitive, so
guests should be prepared to pack in most of their own supplies and gear.

## Recreation

From the lookout's perch above the tree line and far away from city lights,
guests can enjoy spectacular night skies and star gazing. An unmaintained
trail on the ridge meanders through alpine trees and beargrass, allowing
hikers to explore the mountaintop. The French Pete Trail Area in the Three
Sisters Wilderness offers several miles of hiking. Cougar Reservoir and Hidden
Lake are also in the vicinity, offering additional recreation options.
