UPDATE -August 2001, DE KF7CN:  There used to be a fire watch tower up there long ago. K7TM did a short operation up there a year ago and found it to be a good location. I did field day in 1986 up there and we were only chased off the mountain by lightning twice that weekend!  We were in a Nissan Xterra and still had to be very careful on some of the water bars near the top.  The gates roads all close at 3 PM now. I didn't notice if the lookout location was gated or not. It didn't used to be...but then none of Moscow mountain used to be gated.

Driving Instructions:  Come in from the Troy, Idaho side of the hill past the old ski area.  The bluff has a great shot to in all directions except directly at Spokane...the operating location is shielded by the peak.  However, Spokane is less than 90 miles away and it does cause too much problems.  Paths toward Seattle are slightly shielded but still workable.
