The Lookout Rock Trailhead, 45 minutes northeast of Bly, Oregon, is at Gearhart Mountain Wilderness's southern boundary. There are no amenities, but it is only a mile past Corral Creek Campground where there are six camping sites, picnic tables, campfire rings, a vault toilet and a parking area with room for trailer turnaround. Dispersed camping is allowed at the trailhead.

Visitors need to pack plenty of water.
