Those lookouts are all midgets!
In the east, they have to be built high enough to be taller than the trees!

It's definitely more rare to find those super tall ones out west, but I'm sure they offer the same spectacular view.
Those things came in a ready-to-assemble kits. You might still be able to purchase one.
Now all I need is a mountain.

Very cool! Thanks for posting that. Doesn't look like they have any lookouts to rent here in New Mexico, but there are two on my list to visit this year (active).
Gonna search for kits. I actually have some land on a mountain so I'm intrigued...

Great report and pics, I have been thinking about doing that in Oregon but don't think I could link that many together.

Thanks.
I've looked into that also. If I remember correctly, there are a number of them in the Cascades, but they are fairly far apart from each other. There might be a 3-5 day loop in Southern Oregon/Northern California where you could stay at one every night. I'm going to have to look into it again.
