Cabins: Jersey Jim Lookout
Live a little bit of history and enjoy an incredible view in Southwestern Colorado with an one- or two-night stay at the Jersey Jim Lookout Tower. Formerly used to detect fires, the live-in tower rises from an aspen-lined meadow in the San Juan National Forest at almost 10,000 feet above sea level. |
Know Before You Go:
- Fire Restrictions: Check Fire Restrictions on the Fire Management page. Please note, drought has a firm grip on Southwest Colorado so please always practice fire safety precautions to prevent human-caused fires. If campfires are allowed, never leave them unattended. Make sure fire is out and ashes are cold.
