We don't yet have a documented staffing history for this lookout. If you know who staffed this tower — or have a photo, story, or record to share — we'd love to hear from you.
OUR NOTES
Mission Mountain is located near the center of the McCroskey State Park along the Idaho/Washington border. We had been in contact with someone who was able to confirm it was still there, so we made the trip out to see for ourselves.
Its pretty incredible to use that this small bit of history has survived almost 100 years in this tree top!
Sure would love to know who the last person to sit in this tree was and what they were thinking as they climbed down from it for the last time.
