Winchester Mountain Lookout

"Twin Lakes Trailhead, NF-3065, Glacier Practically a stone’s throw from the Canadian border (check your phone to see if you connect to Canadian service!), Winchester Mountain is well worth the bumpy ride to the Twin Lakes Trailhead. At 3.4 miles and 1,300 feet of elevation gain, the short hike will leave your jaw on the floor with every step, surrounded by lush meadows and Cascade peaks on all sides. The fire tower is first come, first served for sleeping, but if it’s taken, there are plenty of other sweet camping spots at the top. The road to the trailhead is steep and gnarly, and it accommodates just one car in some spots. At minimum, all-wheel drive and high clearance is required. "
