After traversing the impressive Franconia Ridge, hikers on the Appalachian Trail going northbound will encounter Mount Garfield. The final hundred feet or so is on slab rocks to reach the summit and former fire lookout foundation.

In 1940, a fire lookout cab was built on a concrete foundation.

In 1948 was the final year of use.

In the 1950s, it was burned.

Today, the foundation remains.
