Lookout History
In 1923, a cupola cabin was built. This was one of the earliest lookouts in this area.
In 1938, panoramic images were taken from the cupola.
In 1948 the cupola was burned down by the USFS.
The Forest Service may have replaced it with an L-4 cab but it was burned down in the 1950s or early 1960s.

This one was labeled Pyramid Peak but I am not sure if correct.
