MINERAL PEAK LOOKOUT
Started in the 1920's with a crow's nest lookout, a pole tower with L-4 cab replaced it in 1935. The present 53' treated timber tower with L-4 cab, built in 1957, was last regularly staffed in the early 1970's. Restoration has been ongoing. It is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.
