Most scenic places to crap in the west.

[Russell]

I remember years ago hiking up to a lake that was out there in the cascades, forget which one now, and heading out to find a place to crap after setting up camp. To my surprise, still remember to this day, I found a toilet seat mounted between two trees with a spectacular mountain view. Wish I had some pics from that.
This one isn't that far from the trail down here but still cool.
Anywhere else worth sitting?

Well... that puts my view from this morning to shame

 

[mcswny]

there’s a really good one on top of black butte, overlooking three fingered Jack, mt Jefferson and the metolius valley in central oregon.

Its hard to see in the lower right and the view was engulfed in smoke this august day, but you get the picture.

I guess it really does run downhill.

Done properly it will have long since turned to compost before that happens.

The group site privy at Indian Bar at Mt. Rainier is pretty awesome.

Hot on the left, Cold on the right! That's all there is too it.

Last time I went up backpacking to Lake Dorthy, the forest service moved the pit toilet box to the top of the ridge overlooking the valley. I enjoyed the view while doing the morning duty. Not sure anyone coming up the hill with me on the commode enjoyed that view.

While climbing the Mexican volcanoes in 1966 we stayed at the hut between Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. The hut itself is at very high elevation as both peaks are over 17,000'-Popo almost 18,000. There was an open outhouse there at the time with a stunning view of Izta and Popo to the right. Some suffered the Galloping Golliwogs and didn't appreciate the view but I never got sick and taking a crap was a real visual treat!

I arrived at the summit of Popo just before sunset and was able to view into the crater and see the stunning views of the other Mexican volcanoes. It was my first time above 12,000'.

So...a hotspotting thread?
The Smith River has some dandy's.

For 25M I sure hope a couple of Russ's new ones offer an expansive view of the Rockies.

Camp Schurman on the Emmons Glacier Mt Rainier has shitters with a lovely view. Had the great fortune and sublime experience of taking a midnight dump while watching an outstanding northern lights display....accompanied by a meteor shower.

I Know that spot! When I climbed Poop (oops, I meant Popo, but thought I'd leave the typo, since it's so relevant) in 1973 I climbed at night and reached the summit exactly at sunrise to see see a perfect triangular shadow extending out over the valley of Mexico.

 

[Mossback]

I'm partial to this view...
Don't have to travel far, just down the hall.

 

[krusty]

Okay-now you are just braggin'!

I think I displayed considerable humility in not also mentioning the dawn dump I took while watching a gorgeous sunrise from Rainier's summit.

 

[Stonedfish]

Well it certainly wasn’t the one at the Cowlitz Blue Creek launch in the mid 80’s.

My brother-in-law has an outhouse with a glass door overlooking a river in Alaska. He says it's so you can see the grizzlies that are coming too eat you!

Is it really scenic if you're inside?
The best I remember is a tree on the rim near the Bears Ears in Utah, looking over Mule Canyon and Comb Wash, all the way out to Shiprock.
