Please note that many of the trails, routes, and landscapes described in this hiking guide CD have been seriously altered due to the forest fires that have occurred during and since the creation of this hiking guide.

Established in 1923 with a log cabin with cupola, the present 10' treated timber L-4 tower, built in 1942, is available for emergencies. It is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.

The original lookout was built by the Forest Service in 1932, and was on a 100 foot tower. In 1962 it was replaced with the present 41' treated timber lookout. The lookout is an "R-6 Flat Top" style cabin, a design introduced in 1953 as the last generation of fire lookouts in the region. The design, which includes a flat, tarred roof, originated in the Pacific Northwest and was designed to alleviate costs and hazards associated with re shingling the roofs typical of earlier style lookouts. Window shutters, a feature of earlier lookouts, were eliminated in this new design, and an extra foot of dimension added over previous lookouts (15 x 15 ft.). These newer lookouts used plywood as a construction element, another new feature. The tower is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register, it is staffed every summer.

A 12x12' log cupola cabin was built here about 1924, replaced by an L-4 cab in 1933. The present 8' wooden L-4 tower, built in 1952, has not been staffed for many years. It is presently open to public use.

First used in the 1920's with a 30' pole tower, a 30' pole L-4 tower replaced it in 1932. This was destroyed by heavy snow in 1942, replaced by another L-4 tower with an unconventional inside trap door. The present 30' treated timber tower topped with an R-6 flat cab was built in 1957. The lookout is presently on the Recreation Rental program.

A 41' treated timber tower with L-4 cab, built in 1940, was removed in 1996 to make way for the present 50' pole tower topped with an 8-sided live-in cab. It is staffed every summer and is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.

The site was developed in 1919 with a 60' three-legged timber platform tower and a frame cabin (still there). The site was abandoned in the 1950's.
