In 1937, a crows nest was at this site.
In 1940, a 50-foot cable-braced pole tower with L-4 cab was constructed.
By 1950, the tower was phased out.
A patrol point to the southeast on Galena Point was also part of the lookout.

Lookout History
A spur road goes up to the summit but during my visit in 2023, fallen trees were blocking. It is possible someone will cut the logs improving access but the brush and fallen logs near the summit are pretty bad, so uncertain about that part.
