This 90' steel tower, built in the 1930s, after being abandoned for many years, was removed in 2011. A local newspaper article published on May 10, 2012 included the following quote from May 10, 1937: "Carrying 10 tons of sand, gravel, concrete and steel up a mountain peak by pack horses for construction of a steel lookout tower is the feat accomplished by R.E. Voorhies. The job took 12 days of patience and hard work. Pack horses were the only possible means of carrying the material up the steep trail to Lone mountain where soon will rise an 80 foot tower. When completed the station will command a clear vision over the entire Quinault area. Lone Mountain is about five miles west of the lower end of Lake Quinault and about a mile south of the Olympic highway."
