Description
The original structure was built in 1933, a California Region 5 Plan BC-301 on a 10 enclosed timber tower. The tower was replaced in 1961 with a CL-100 on a 20 foot K-Brace open steel tower.
The second lookout and tower were dismantled and installed on Pike County Peak in 1983, where it still serves as a fire detection site today.
