While traveling to Hager Mountain Lookout, weather conditions can change quickly and dramatically. Let others know of your travel plans and carry communication, such as a cell phone.

Do not split wood on the porch or inside the cabin; this practice is damaging the site. Split wood down by the shed.

There is no water at the look out. Carry in your own water or melt snow when available.

Be prepared for winter conditions and the possibility of having to camp out on the trail overnight. Let others know of your travel plans, and carry communication, water and food. The trail to the lookout is uphill and can be very strenuous depending on snow conditions. Arrive early and allow extra time for bad weather or losing the route. Several groups have become disorientated and required search and rescues teams to assist them in the past. Plan ahead and be prepared!

Please contact the Ranger District at (541) 576-2107 prior to arriving at the cabin to check on any restrictions or conditions, such as fire or road closures, weather or storms that may affect the quality of your visit.
