## Overview

Girard Ridge Lookout was constructed in 1931 and used by the Forest Service on
a regular basis until 1981. It is one of the few remaining historic lookouts
on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The structure at Girard Ridge is
reportedly the oldest lookout of its particular design remaining in
California. It was restored to its original character in 1997. The lookout
offers primitive accommodations, but visitors are rewarded with panoramic
views of the mountains during the day and bright, starry skies at night.
Staying at Girard Ridge Lookout is an unforgettable experience.

## Recreation

While the main recreation at Girard Ridge Lookout is enjoying the scenery,
there are opportunities to hike, hunt, and fish. Hikers can walk north on the
Forest Service road for 3 miles from the lookout to where it meets the Pacific
Crest Trail.

## Facilities

Girard Ridge Lookout stands 13 feet off the ground and is accessed via a
flight of stairs. It has a standard 14x14 foot cabin with a gable roof and
exterior catwalk. There is a separate building with a vault toilet that is
accessed by going down the stairs and walking about 30 feet. The cabin offers
two twin beds with mattresses. Cabinets are available for storage and there is
a table for eating. Visitors have access to cleaning supplies, including a
mop, broom, and cleansers. The lookout has no cooking facilities, no water and
no electricity. Visitors are required to bring water. A heat source is needed
in cooler temperatures. There are no dishes, utensils, cookware, linens or
bedding at the lookout. Visitors must bring garbage bags to pack out trash.
The use of portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid
fuel is allowed with a valid California campfire permit, but no wood or
charcoal fires are permitted ( Click here for more information about Girard
Ridge Lookout).

## Natural Features

The lookout is located above the Sacramento River Canyon at a height of 4,809
feet. Spectacular views of Mount Shasta are seen to the north, the gray spires
of the Castle Crags frame almost the entire view to the west and the distant
silhouette of Lassen Peak can be seen to the southeast. Girard Ridge Lookout
is surrounded by northern California mixed conifer forest. Bears and other
animals live in the surrounding forest (click here for information on bear
safety).

Hirz Cabin

## Overview

The McCloud River Wintu tribe held Hirz Mountain in reverence and had a name
for it in their own language. But it was a white miner, Henry Hirz, who gave
the mountain its modern name. Hirz was a gold miner who lived on Hirz Creek in
the 1860s and was one of the earliest white men in the McCloud River country.  
  
When the lookout was built, it was originally a structure that sat on the
ground. The mountain was a strategic location for detecting fires because it
had a direct view into the headwaters of the McCloud River and most of its
tributaries. In 1937, the Forest Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) rebuilt the Hirz Mountain Lookout cabin and included a garage and
outhouse. It was one of the last CCC-era lookouts to be built. In 1949, a
steel tower was added, constructed of a steel K-brace tower that stands 20
feet above ground level.  
  
Coming here is not for the faint of heart. The access road is rocky and steep
with limited visibility - high clearance vehicles are recommended - and the
last quarter-mile must be traversed on foot. Those who make the journey are
rewarded with unforgettable views of the landscape by day and the stars at
night.

## Recreation

The main recreational activities at Hirz Mountain Lookout are sightseeing and
stargazing, and this is an ideal setting for those with a passion for
photography. Visitors may want to bring binoculars to go birding and wildlife
watching.  
  
There are also opportunities to hike, mountain bike and hunt in the area.

## Facilities

There are two twin beds offering sleeping space for two people. There is a
picnic table below the lookout and a composting  
toilet in a separate building. Cabinets and dressers are available for
storage. Visitors will find cleaning supplies for tidying up the cabin when
they leave.  
  
  
  
The lookout has no cooking facilities, linens, bedding, water or electricity.
Visitors must bring enough water for the length of their stay, as well as  
garbage bags to pack out their trash. Appropriate footwear is recommended for
the hike up to the lookout. Other items to consider include food, a cell
phone, cook stove,  
matches, a cooler with ice, personal items, first aid kit, flashlights or
lanterns and extra batteries. A California campfire permit is required for the
use of a  
portable gas stove, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel for cooking  
(click here for more information about Hirz Mountain Lookout).

## Natural Features

This lookout tower sits atop Hirz Mountain at an elevation of 3,540 feet,
offering 360-degree views of Mt. Shasta's snow-laced peak to the north, Mt.
Lassen to the southeast and the gray limestone exposures of Hirz Mountain
itself. The narrow blue-green ribbon of the McCloud River Arm winds past the
east side of Hirz Mountain, extending north and south as far as the eye can
see. Visitors to Hirz Mountain Lookout are advised to use caution, as
rattlesnakes and bears frequent the area (click here for information on bear
safety).
