First stop was the Spruce Mountain Lookout Tower. I read an article in 5280 magazine a while ago about being able to reserve these towers for a weekend stay. I thought it was such a neat idea and would love to do that. I want to sit up there with my coffee and watch the sunrise or with a beer in the evening as the sun sets.

On a trail that wraps around Lake Owen. This was before humming, black clouds of mosquitos descended on me as I took a little run around the lake.
