Take a scenic drive north of Chelan to Washington Butte. The
Forest Service road is excellent for even a small car. From the
parking area (see Parking coordinates below), its only a short 1/4
mile hike with 200 foot elevation gain to the site of a FS lookout.
The 40 foot pole lookout tower with L-4 style cab was built by the
Forest Service in 1936. It was removed in 1952 but the tell-tell
concrete footings which supported and anchored the tower still
remain.
There are many roads in the area but after driving back to town,
I checked the navigation on my PN-40 and it routed the correct
roads to the parking destination. Just in case there is a question,
from the Chelan-Manson hiway, take Boyd Road north to Cooper
Mountain road. Take the right fork on to FS road 8021 (cabin rental
area) and a left fork at Washington Creek road.
Congratulations to bigolbullelk and
