Atacosa Lookout

A rough gravel road just side of the border leads to a little-used trail to Atacosa Lookout. The peach-colored CCC cabin tops a stone pinnacle with unforgettable views from the Santa Catalinas to the Sea of Cortez ... not to mention the Edward Abbey Memorial Shithouse. Abbey spent the summer of 1968 as a forest ranger at Atacosa Lookout, and wrote about it in Confessions of a Barbarian.
