At 5,045 feet, Devils Peak is the highest point in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness. It is graced by one of the few forest lookouts not destroyed by the Forest Service in the 1960s and 70s, as the agency shifted to aerial surveillance. The lookout was originally constructed in the 1920s, completely reconstructed after World War II, and decommissioned in the 1970s. Today, the humble, historic lookout is maintained by volunteers and open to the public. Overnight stays are free - first come, first served. Clean up and close up when you are done. The easy, short Devils Peak Hike provides views of Mount Hood along the way, glimpses of the imposing Devils Tooth monolith and wildflowers in June and July.
