The bottom floor of the last lookout is still here, repurposed as an electronics site. But the most interesting thing about this location is hidden in the rocks!
I've had a love affair with history and exploring new places since childhood - cue the Johnny Quest theme music. I am especially fascinated by mining and logging history of the American West - but more specifically the people that created and shaped that history. Life would be perfect if every second was spent with dirt under my boots (or tires) and a dog at my side.

History says this was a camp and patrol point but the ruins left behind tell a different story.
Nothing left at this lookout location except for the cement footings.
First located in 1930 and abandoned in 1950 - this tower is long gone but there are lots of ruins and debris to find and explore.
This lookout is gone but the ruins can still be found in this gorgeous spot!
A gorgeous hike up to the site of Mt Pend Oreille where the lookout blew over in 1953.
This first come, first serve lookout was built in 1952 and has a great backstory about its name!
This first-come first-serve tower is in overall good shape.
Two towers still stand at this staffed lookout in the Nez Perce National Forest.
Absolutely nothing left of this tower that we could find.
