History
Developed in 1924 with a cupola log cabin.
In 1955 the current 50′ tower with L-4 cab was built.
Conrad Lookout is the tallest remaining tower on the St. Joe.
This tower was last manned in 1984, abandoned sometime soon after.
Restoration work is proposed by a partnership between the FFLA Idaho Chapter and the St. Joe. As of the summer of 2020 it didnt appear that any work was in process – could be that projects have been stalled due to Covid and large scale fire seasons that have sent resources to other areas.
The tower is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.
Our Notes
Conrad, as you can see from our photographs, is in disrepair but we dont think its too far gone to save. We’re investigating how we can help be apart of its restoration – as well absolutely fell in love with this tower and want to see it continuing to stand proud!

Conrad Peak 2020
I worked at Red Ives in the late 70s. One of our coworkers was Conrad Bill. I do not remember his last name; we always called him Conrad Bill.
He lived in the Conrad peak lookout. A buddy and I took the trip up there to visit him. It was a wonderful experience.
Bill told us what it was like to be up there in a storm. The guy wires tightening on one side and the other side they slacked. Also told us how ball lightening would sometime come in and roll around the inside of the lookout.
Great memories!
Wow! Thats a tall tower, I think being up that high in a storm would definitely be scary!
