From the article 12 Bucket List Hikes in Northern California, One for Every Month of 2024: "In the early 20th century, more than 150 fire lookouts helped California’s park rangers keep an eye on dangerous wildfires. Technology has since put most of them out of commission, but a handful of the original lookout cabins remain to welcome hikers (and even overnight guests). On the northwestern side of the Tahoe National Forest, the Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout sits high on its granite throne about 2.5 miles (and 180 steep metal steps) from the trailhead. There’s just one trail, the Sierra Buttes Trail, to worry about, and it’s an intense one. But if you ask us, the views that reach all the way to Mount Lassen on a clear day are worth the pain." My personal experience: We've hiked the Sierra Buttes Trail many times with kids & dog.
