## Overview

Timpanogas Shelter sits on shore of its namesake lake at an altitude of 5,300
feet in the Willamette National Forest within the Oregon Cascades Recreation
Area. The cabin was patterned after the old Civilian Conservation Corps
3-sided shelter and was built in 1991 with the help of a University of Oregon
outdoor school class and the Walker Rim Snowmobile Club.  
  
The cabin is typically open from late June through late October. It is
accessible by car, but the last 7 miles of the road are rough and narrow.

## Recreation

Anglers enjoy fishing for brook trout and cutthroat on upper and lower
Timpanogas Lakes, even though the lakes are closed to motorcraft. Canoeing is
also possible on the lakes.  
  
Those not inclined to fish can enjoy hiking or mountain biking on numerous
trails in the Timpanogas area, especially in late August when huckleberries
are ripe for picking. This includes the Timpanogas Lake Trail, which starts at
the Timpanogas Campground.  
  
The Diamond Peak Trail Area, Pacific Crest Trail and Diamond Peak Wilderness
are also nearby.

## 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.

snowmobiling on the terrain in the nearby Middle Fork Willamette River - Moon
