Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout

No Campfires - Fire Restrictions are in effect for the Shasta-Trinity NF. The Little Mt. Hoffman lookout was constructed in the 1920’s and was used by the Forest Service on a regular basis until 1978. It is one of the few remaining historic lookouts on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lookout is still occasionally used by the Forest Service in times of extreme fire danger. Staying at either of our two lookouts is a unique and memorable experience.
