Directions
From Eugene, Oregon, take I-5 south to the exit for Highway 58 East. Drive east 34 miles on Highway 58 through Oakridge. Continue on Highway 58 about 1 to 1.5 miles east of Oakridge. Turn right towards Hills Creek Reservoir on Kitson Springs Road and proceed 0.2 mile to Forest Service Road (FSR) 21. Turn right and follow double lane FSR 21 south and southeast for approximately 18 miles. Turn left on gravel FSR 2129. Proceed on 2129 for 8 miles to Spur 439. (You may encounter snow before you reach 439).
Turn right at this junction; follow this road for 4 miles to the 342 spur on the left. This is the road to the lookout. The road is gated, but the gate is usually buried under snow during the winter season and not visible. Lookout signs along FSR 21 and FSR 2129 will help identify the routes. Orange poles identify the final route through a meadow to the lookout.
If a low-elevation storm is predicted at the time of arrival, be sure to park vehicle facing downhill before reaching the snow zone. It is the responsibility of cabin guests to arrange for towing if their vehicle gets stuck in snow.

Such a wonderful experience, will definitely have to go back! The views are spectacular and sunsets phenomenal. Other than a plugged sink, lookout is well maintained inside and out. Roads from hwy 58 are well maintained (and well signed) but watch for the occasional pothole.

We had an amazing night at Warner Mountain. There was no snow so we were able to drive all the way up to the lookout; the roads were in very good condition. The cabin was in great shape and very comfortable; the prior renters had left is sparkling clean. The views are outstanding - so many snow capped peaks, from the Sisters to Mt Bailey with the main view of beautiful Diamond Peak. It was a warm night so we didn't use the propane heat stove but the cooktop and lights were all working well. I hope this will be made available in November again this year; right now it looks like the next season starts in January.

Oven did not work. Not sure if I didn’t know how to turn it on or what. Was able to drive up all the way with only a little bit of snow last two miles. Signs up weren’t very clear.

This place is always a favorite. This is our 4th time. All other times were in skiing in, this time we drove right to it. Had a great time exploring and hiking in the area. It was fun to be able to have a fire outside in the firepit and bring great food and drink with us. We left a french press up there for people to use.

We were able to drive within three miles of the lookout and then hiked in with only yak traks without post holing very often. We discovered that when we walked on the high points of the snowmobile tracks it was easier walking. We crossed paths with the previous guests who recommended we pass the gate and walk across the meadow. It wasn’t much further but easier than hiking through the woods at the gate. It’s a fairly gradual incline which made it an enjoyable hike experience. The lookout has 50 stairs, a functional oven, stove and heater with incredible 365 views! We didn’t get the fridge to work but didn’t try very hard either. I was able to hang my hammock inside on the hook and ladder when the ladder was down, which made me a very happy camper and gave my friend use of the double bed. There are lights and sufficient pots, pans and cooking utensils. We used snow melt for a water source beyond what we packed in. No use of the toilet but with views like this it makes for a spectacular outdoor bathroom experience!
We packed in a couple dollar store inflatable floaties/tubes and used them to slide on, making that one of our trip highlights! I think spring is a great time to do this trip.
