Liz Butte Cabin is truly a mountain hide-away, situated on top of Liz Butte at 6,098 feet above sea level. This rustic log cabin was once the home to forest service lookout guards who spent their days on the tower scanning the horizon for signs of fire. The lookout tower is long gone, but the views from the cabin are still spectacular in every direction. The cabin is one room with a sleeping loft and front porch. Step back in time as you relax on the porch, watching the sunset as you listen to the quiet sounds of nature.
Access to the cabin is the Lolo Motorway, a primitive, one-lane road constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930s. It is not recommended for large RVs, vehicles with low ground clearance or trailers. For more information about the Lolo Motorway visit our website. http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/clearwater/lolo_trail.htm
