Thanks to the recent heat wave, the last of the snow has melted and the road to the Cascade Lookout is now open!
Located across the highway directly opposite from the resort, turn left at the first intersection and drive up to the lookout point to take in stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the valley below. The lookout is open 24/7, so while camping is not permitted, we encourage visiting at night for arguably the best stargazing in the park.
*The road to Dry Ridge (beyond the lookout) remains closed for another few weeks due to Bear Habitat conservation.

I see that the cascade lookout is open 24/7 but camping is not permitted. Would that mean I can park my car there throughout the night? I won’t be camping per say. Just parked overnight.
Do you know when the road beyond the lookout would be open?
How are the meadows?
When will cascade lookout close to the public ?
Does cascade lookout open to the public during November?
I want to go to the lookout the night of August 12th-23th to photograph the Perseids Meteor Shower overnight but, in a previous comment you mention that parking overnight is not permitted; yet it’s open 24/7 for stargazing? Are we expected to “walk/hike” our camera gear up to the lookout? I’m confused and would like to ask for some clarification on this. Was really looking forward to this but, if not allowed to drive up there…
Awesome… thank you so much!
Hi there, I’m wanting to do a hike to the Three Brothers area the week of October 16th to the 19th. Will the lookout road be open still by than? Thank you

Thank you for getting back. I will check closer.

Is the cascade lookout open? Because the google said it is temporary closed
Oops, posted in the wrong year previously. Any word on when the road beyond the lookout will open this Summer?
Hi,
I’m looking to do some astrophotography at Cascade lookout for the upcoming May long weekend. Is there any chance it will be open?
