Hornet Lookout Cabin
Hornet Lookout Cabin is a backcountry fire lookout in the Flathead National Forest, set atop Hornet Peak and used as a reserved wilderness hut/cabin. Access is via a one-mile hike from the trailhead at the parking area.
Inside, the lookout is two stories with living space on the ground level for two guests and a small loft upstairs used for views. Facilities include a propane cook stove, propane lantern, two cots, and a small wood stove for heat; a pit toilet is outside the lookout. No water is available, and there are no hookups for water, electricity, or sewer.
The cabin remains locked and entry uses a combination lock code sent with the reservation confirmation. Bring bedding, water, a first-aid kit, food, and other essentials; bring garbage bags since it’s a pack-it-in, pack-it-out facility. A maximum stay is three consecutive nights with a total of seven days per calendar year, with check-in at 2 pm and check-out at 12 pm.
