"In 1956, Jack Kerouac spent 63 days as a fire lookout on Desolation Peak in Washington State. His time at a tiny cabin perched at an elevation of 6,102 feet in the Cascade Range helped inspire his novels Desolation Angels and The Dharma Bums. While the cabin isn’t open to the public, you can still follow in Kerouac’s footsteps and sleep close to the stars by renting one of dozens of U.S. Forest Service fire lookout stations across the West. For instance, there’s the Werner Peak Lookout cabin, at 6,960 feet in Montana’s Whitefish Mountains, or the Green Ridge Lookout tower, a 20-foot-tall structure located 2,000 feet above the Metolius River in Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest. ..."
