Overview

Sweeping views of Mount Hood, the Badger Creek Wilderness, Central Oregon, and the Cascade range from Mount Adams to The Three Sisters await visitors to Flag Point Lookout Road. The Forest Service fire lookout is staffed during summer months and, if official duties don't take prescience, the lookout staff often invite people up into the lookout tower. A short hike from the lookout to the helipad provides breathtaking views of Badger Creek Basin, The Palisades, and Mount Hood.
