The Bitterroot National Forest invites you to enjoy a unique recreational experience at Gird Point Lookout. This historic L-4 cabin sits on top of an 8' tower and is located 11 miles east of Hamilton, Montana at 7,702 feet elevation. The lookout has a near-360 view of the surrounding Sapphire, Bitterroot, and Anaconda Pintler mountain ranges, and sunsets are spectacular! Visitors can drive within a half-mile of the lookout and must then hike a moderate grade the remaining way. The lookout was restored during a multi-year project that began in 2001 and is furnished with vintage 1940's lookout furnishings. There is no electricity or water. Vault toilet. Propane canisters are supplied for cooking and lighting. Hike the surrounding hillsides, drive ATVs on Forest Roads in the area or bring your latest book and relax! Call the Darby Ranger Station for current conditions. (406)821-3913. Open season July.
The 14-by-14 lookout is equipped with two beds that can sleep up to four people. It has a table and chairs, a propane stove and lantern, basic eating and cooking utensils and pots and pans, as well as a wood stove for heat and cooking. Firewood should be available at the tower
