Blackhall Lookout

Perched atop a nearly 11,000-foot summit in the Sierra Madre Range, Blackhall Mountain Lookout offers an unparalleled wilderness experience. As one of the highest points in Wyoming, this historic 1963 fire tower, listed on the National Historic Registry, provides guests with sweeping, panoramic views of the vast Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. The remote setting offers a true escape into the high-altitude wilderness, far removed from the bustle of city life.

Accommodations at the lookout are primitive and unique, featuring sleeping space for four with one queen bed and a twin bunk bed. The tower is equipped with LED solar lighting to assist with evening visibility. While the site is managed by the USFS and offers vault toilets, campers should be prepared for a rustic experience with no utility hookups available on-site. The site is open for year-round adventure, though access is determined by high-altitude weather conditions.

This location is best suited for adventurous travelers and those seeking a unique, off-grid retreat. Whether you are interested in a rugged cabin rental experience or exploring the high-altitude terrain, Blackhall Mountain Lookout serves as a remarkable basecamp for those who value solitude and spectacular mountain vistas.
