## Overview

Calpine is a forest fire lookout tower that was constructed in 1934 by the
Civilian Conservation Corps, and is one of three remaining examples of the
enclosed windmill-style lookout in California. The lookout was actively used
every summer until 1975. It is a three-story structure with external stairs.
The top room or observation cab is the only rentable space at this time. This
is a popular rental facility that is booked almost every night of the year.
Calpine sits at an elevation of 5,980 feet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of
the Tahoe National Forest, approximately 40 miles from Truckee, California.
During the summer, renters can drive directly to the base of the tower. In
winter, the road is often closed due to snow and ice so access is by
snowshoes, skis or snowmobile. The lookout has propaned-powered appliances but
does not have electricity or water.

## Recreation

Hiking and mountain biking trails are within 15 miles of the lookout. The
Pacific Crest Trail can be accessed approximately 20 miles away.

## Facilities

The interior of the cab measures 14' by 14' and currently has two single twin
beds, a dry sink, a table and chairs, three propane lights, a propane heater,
a propane stove/oven and a fire finder. A limited assortment of cooking
utensils, pots and pans are provided. The facility has its own propane tank.
An accessible vault toilet,a picnic table and fire ring are located outside,
at the base of the lookout. Firewood is not provided. When fire restrictions
go into effect during the summer, no campfires are permitted. Visitors should
plan on bringing their own bedding, groceries, toilet paper and other personal
items. Check-in is after 1:00 pm, check-out is by 12:00 pm.

## Natural Features

The lookout tower sits on a mountain top with views of the Sierra Valley,
Haskell Peak to the west, Nevada to the east and Lassen Peak to the far
northwest. The lookout is approximately a half hour of travel time from Sand
Pond, Sardine Lakes and the Lakes Basin Area. Wildlife is abundant in the
area. On a clear night, renters can gaze on an almost endless galaxy of stars
and meteorites.
