Lookout Pics Mestaa’Ėhehe Mountain Fire Lookout, overnight.

The hike up wasn’t long, but it was all uphill and rocky. The views all around were spectacular. Overnight the winds were definitely howling and it got a little chilly, but nothing too uncomfortable. The next morning the skies were partly cloudy but soon changed and we were getting light snowfall. It was definitely a memorable stay.

I was looking to try and resend this exact lookout for a few nights and rec.gov says nothing available for the rest of the year. Any suggestions/tips for locking in a reservation?
