Experience a unique overnight stay in a lookout tower.
The Morton Peak Fire Lookout located in the San Bernardino National Forest is truly a bona fide getaway. Guests who stay atop the remote 30-foot tower will find peace in knowing they are worlds apart from the daily grind of urban living. With spectacular views of the desert, inland valleys and mountains this secluded accommodation provides the ideal atmosphere for a romantic getaway, a personal retreat, or a family escape for up to four. The Morton Peak Fire Lookout is now available for reservations all year long.
Morton Peak Fire Lookout accommodates a maximum of three adults, or two
adults and two children. Guests must be prepared to experience their "camp in," bringing everything except a tent and bed. Perched atop a 30-foot tower, the lookout is a 14' x 14' room with windows on all four sides, a twin bed and trundle bed, and an
observation deck surrounding the cabin.
Outside on the grounds, there is a
composting outhouse and picnic table. Guests bring water, sleeping bags, food,
flashlight or lantern, camp games or cards, binoculars, and whatever else they
desire for their comfort. Gas
stoves are allowed for cooking; no charcoal BBQ's or campfires are allowed.
At 4,624' above sea level, Morton Peak offers extraordinary 360 degree
views of the San Bernardino Mountains, Santa Ana River Valley, and Inland
Empire communities and deserts.
Nighttime stargazing is exceptional because there is no light reflection
from city lights.
This private, one-of-a-kind experience is available for $75 per night midweek or $85 weekends and holidays. The only way to reserve a stay at the lookout is to call 800-424-4232 or book online.
