Note: the actual fire lookout tower has been removed but it’s still not a bad hike.

Directions:

Around 3 km south of Moyie BC, turn off Hwy 95 onto Sunrise Road. 2.5km later, turn left onto Yahk River Forest Service Road. Keep right immediately at the split and drive another 10km before turning left onto a smaller road heading north. Either park here and begin a longer hike or navigate up the road as far as possible for a shorter hike.

This area has recently been logged, making navigating upwards fairly straight forward
A concrete pad is all that remains of the former lookout
Most lookouts come with outhouses – this one is still standing!
