Our Notes
We visited Grave Point in January, a month you would normally expect deep snow and snowmobile only access to the site. Mother Nature was having a moment and gave us warm rain and temps in the mid 40s – which cleared the roads almost entirely to the lookout.
Bonus note from NHLR: “The lookout was used as a site for hacking falcons for several years”
The lookout is in sturdy shape and to our eyes we thought it would make a great addition to the rental program with just a little bit of TLC. This tower is currently on Emergency Use status. This is a great tower to visit with easy drive up access and a truly spectacular western view overlooking the Hells Canyon area.
