About this hut
Calpine is a fire lookout tower that was actively used every summer until 1975. It is available for rental through recreation.gov. Visitors renting the lookout will have spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, sunrises, sunsets and stargazing. This is an extremely popular facility that is rented year-round. The Forest Service does not plow the road in the winter. Once the road is covered in snow, access is by snowshoes, skiis or renters can bring their own snowmobiles.
