We spent a glorious Labor Day Weekend exploring southern Oregon from our vantage point at Bolan Mountain Lookout. Without a doubt, amongst the most scenic Forest Service rentals I’ve had the pleasure of staying in.

Bolan Mountain is unlike many lookouts in that it has an expansive wrap-around deck to relax on, from which you can enjoy the view from all sides.

Labor Day weekend, while absolutely not an anniversary (because I don’t believe in those), is special nonetheless. In the interest of getting sappy, I was lucky enough to fall in love with this goofball over a Labor Day Weekend trip to Glacier National Park. While I originally intended that road trip to Glacier to be a solo adventure, Devin somehow inserted himself into my life and claimed a seat in my CRV. Against my better judgement and the advice of my best friend,”Careful, you’ll fall in love in Glacier,” I found myself in one of the most beautiful places with an equally beautiful human. Even though the weather turned sour and our plans had to adjust, Devin and I had the most lovely time in each other’s company. Granted, it wasn’t for another couple of months until I was interested in admitting to myself (or to Devin) how I felt.

Bolan Mountain Lookout overlooks Bolan Lake, a pretty little lake near Cave Junction, Oregon. We used it to fill our solar shower.

Sunsets up there were beyond words.

The morning views weren’t bad either…

Until next time,
