Mount Fremont Fire Lookout
Mount Fremont Fire Lookout, Fire lookout tower in Mount Rainier National Park, US
The Mount Fremont Fire Lookout stands at 7,181 feet elevation, featuring a two-story structure with a balconied observation level and ground storage space.
Constructed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, this lookout served as an essential fire detection point for Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding forests.
The structure represents rustic architecture design principles developed by the National Park Service, incorporating local materials and traditional building methods.
Visitors can reach the lookout via a 5.6-mile round trip hike from Sourdough Ridge Trailhead, gaining 900 feet in elevation through meadowlands and rocky terrain.
Cables attached to ground anchors maintain the stability of this highest fire lookout in Mount Rainier National Park against strong mountain winds.
