Headed up on June 26 and this is what I saw at 6330'.
My 'super swamper' testing the firmness of the springs
The road heading up.
Looking back from a nearby ridge.
Headed back up last weekend to look for a friends lost camera and found the door to locked and signed, called the forestry office regarding the lost camera and they said the tower failed an engineers report so they had to lock it. Probably be taken down in year or so.
Although I can't find the pix's Mara MT lookout is one heck of a rock crawlers
(OK 12 inch boulder weavers)
dream to get there.
As well Mt baldy lookout east of Little fort, great drive.
There are pictures of little fort look out (baldy mt?) on fun in bc I believe. There is one above whatshan lake I've been meaning to check out too. We should plan a trip one day. I'd also like to check out tuktakamin mt and mt Mara
definitely. but we are running out of summer for these high mountain trips. It was snowing at the top of Mara when I was there 2-3 weeks ago and it's been pretty cool and rainy since.
YUP, looking out the kitchen window east over Grinrod and the west side of hunters range right now, And I bet with the bucket full a rain in the past 24 hours there are a few feet up there.
Time to break out the sled.
(if this keeps up I will have snow here by turkey day, we are at about 2450 feet)
I thought I'd bump this thread up since it had a bit of traffic back in the day, Mt.Lavina is indeed being proposed to be dis-mantled luckily Paul stepped up and has made some progress with getting the 4WDABC support on renovating the tower to allow it to remain open. I thought I'd post this here since four wheel drive association threads don't seem to get much traffic. I'm hoping to get over there to help and was hoping some others might as well.
Steve, if you can email me when and if a work party is organized that would be appreciated. I know a couple of guys that would volunteer their time. Close to home for us and it's a great ride up and nice to see a lookout still standing

Will do Kevin. Summer is stupid busy for me at work with being on-call, covering holidays and such but I am going to try and get my butt over there to help out.
Unfortunately we hit about 6' of snow at 7000' so we were still about 500' short elevation wise to make it to the tower. We did install some signage that forestry gave us and do general trail maintenance and enjoy some good company but no tower work. August long I'm busy as well so others will have to step up.
There is another work party being held this August long weekend for Mt.Lavina fire lookout, we're meeting at Glacier Creek Regional Park for 10:30am on August 1st. I believe there is a staircase to be installed as well as some cat walk work. Just putting this out as an open invite to anyone who wants to help out.
