Burnt Knob Fire Lookout 8196’
Burnt Knob Fire Lookout
A short, yet rugged side road climbs up to a lookout tower near the middle of the Magruder Corridor. The Burnt Knob Fire Lookout is only about a 1.5-mile ride each way but it’s not for everyone. BDR considers this road an expert only section, but if you are up for the challenge it comes with amazing views of the surrounding area if you reach the summit. This is also a good opportunity to stop for a while and grab a drink or make use of the site’s primitive facility during this long and rough stretch of the BDR. The side road that leads to the lookout is rocky and unmaintained, but usually accessible enough for riders traveling the Idaho BDR.
