Rental Lookout

Medicine Point is a popular US Forest Service rental lookout.  The hike is pleasant on a well-maintained good-grade trail, FS #181.  I set up SOTA operation a couple of hundred feet away from the lookout to not disturb a young couple that had rented it. Much of the southerly ridge from the trail junction to the lookout is within the activation zone. A highlight of seen wildlife, numerous mule deer and Clark’s nutcrackers was a very dark silver-fox hunting golden mantle squirrels and chipmunks in a large boulder field.
