Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout, Fire lookout tower in Mount Rainier National Park, United States.

Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout is a two-story wooden structure with an observation platform on the upper level and storage space below. The building sits at roughly 5,900 feet elevation and was built as a fire detection facility for the surrounding forest.

The structure was built in 1933 by the National Park Service under architect Edwin A. Nickel from the Branch of Plans and Designs. Its construction was part of an early fire management program that aimed to protect the park's forests from wildfire.

The lookout stands on Tolmie Peak, named for William Fraser Tolmie of the Hudson's Bay Company, who reached this area in 1833 while gathering plants and keeping a journal of the journey. His account records the mountain terrain and the people who guided him through it.

The lookout is reached on foot by trail; the upper level serves as a visitor contact point on weekends. Winds are strong enough that the structure is held by cables anchored to deadmen. Check conditions before setting out, since the route lies at high elevation in Mount Rainier National Park.

The tower is one of only four remaining observation structures within the entire national park. This rarity makes it a valuable window into how forest fire protection worked in earlier decades.
