However, if you're going to make a day of it, maybe a nice hike where this is your summit, then the views are good, although not the best I've seen from a Lookout. I'd bring a truck if you have one. The rough paved road is passable by most vehicles, but when it gets to the rough dirt/rock road you don't want to be sitting low or you'll have to drive very slow to save your car and your butt. I wish they hadn't built the new stuff right next to the tower as it kinda diminishes its existence and looks more like a crack house as opposed to a worn out and abused former lookout.

This historic Forest Service lookout tower is located on top of Frazier Mountain (elevation 8,013…read morefeet). The mountain is named after Willian T. Frazier who was a miner in the 1850s. The site has been a lookout ever since 1905. The original building burned down in 1952 and was quickly replaced the same year by the current structure. The lookout was decommissioned in the 90s. The structure is abandoned and in pretty bad shape. I would use extreme caution if you decide to explore it. There's not much left to see. The lookout is surrounded by a number of tall communication towers. When you're done checking out the building you can hike the pine-covered mountain and take in the panoramic views. To get to the site take Interstate-5 and exit at Frazier Park Mountain Road. Drive west on Frazier Park Road about 5 miles through town. Turn left on Lockwood Valley Road. After another mile turn left at Frazier Mountain Road. From the Chucupate Ranger station drive 7 miles up a steep dirt road. You will encounter a number of signs that will point you in the right direction.

You might not realize how huge and dangerous some of these birds really are, but they average about 9 feet to 12 feet tall and from 250 to 350 pounds. And, they can be quite deadly. During the mating season, the males will instantly try to attack you if you get close. They've got about 6 to 10 different ostriches in separate fenced off areas. If you pay a few dollars for a tour, they will walk you down and show you the different ostriches they have, as well as provide some pretty interesting ostrich facts. Their feet are crazy as they are the only two toed bird on earth. Looking at them it is easy to see how they are related to dinosaurs because it looks just like a dinosaur foot. You can also buy ostrich eggs if they have them available, which are equal to about 24 to 36 eggs. The flavor and consistency is actually pretty good as well and very similar to chicken eggs. They also sell honey and a bunch of other things. Also, in certain times of year, you can go and see the baby ostrich chicks that they raise. If you're feeling adventurous, this is definitely worth a trip, especially if you have kids. This has become a fun stop we started making on our annual visit to the California Poppy Preserve in Antelope Valley. I would call ahead and see what's going on with tours and everything else. Five stars.
