Burnt Knob Fire Lookout Tower – Idaho BDR – Truck Camper Overland!

We’ve been traveling the Idaho BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) which passes the Burnt Knob Fire Lookout Tower. Of course, we had to detour from the route and check it out!

Lookout towers are hidden gems in the forest. It’s incredible to have roads (often drivable) to the top the tallest peaks often exposing epic views. Many towers have been destroyed over the years which makes discovering and exploring these historic structures a treasure hunt.

This lookout tower sits at 8,159 foot elevation and is especially unique being built on the top of a rock cliff. Rocks were stacked to help support and level the structure on the uneven rock slab. It’s overlooking 3 lakes with only hiking trail access.

We were amazed by the breathtaking beauty which is reminiscent of the granite slabs found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. What a treat!
