History

In 1934, the CCC built a 79-foot-6-inch-tall (24.23 m) International Derrick tower on the mountain. It was provided to the state by the United States Forest Service. The tower was first staffed in 1935, reporting 6 fires and 568 visitors. The tower ceased fire lookout operations in 1986. The tower and cabin were later removed because of extreme vandalism of the tower and the site.[2]
