Our Notes

The site of this lookout has only the rock foundations from the cabin & cupola. We found a little bit of telephone wire as well. Most of the rocks have been carved with visitors names, the oldest of which we could make out was the mid 1960s.

The ridge has all been logged and/or burnt over the years – there are no remaining crows nests.
