OUR NOTES
We’ve had Sourdough Lookout very high on our TO VISIT list for awhile and we FINALLY made it.
Sourdough is so unique and picturesque, we started hootin’ and hoolerin’ when the lookout came into view! We hopped out of the car and made a beeline for the cabin and then spent easily an hour just reading all the graffiti carved inside.
The cabin underwent a full restoration in 1994/95 and could use a little more TLC today. There were two broken windows and the entire building was covered with mouse droppings. But overall the cabin and the grounds appear to be in good shape, hopefully to stand for many years to come!
