OUR NOTES

We were excited to visit Freezeout Ridge because we thought that a site with such a varied history of different lookouts located here that there HAD to be a lot of ruins to see. Well….we were wrong.

We did find the cement footings from the L4 tower and we THINK we found the location of the cabin that was built in 1923. But otherwise this site has been fairly well removed with little left behind beyond fantastic views.

We made the short hike up to the patrol point as well but other than a fair large rock cairn there was nothing to indicate much.
